I recently had my car painted by a body shop guy who was doing it on the side. We went round and round on color, and at the end I have no idea what color he used? Even if I can track him down, I'd be surprised if he remembers - my best hope is he still has one of the cans in his garage. If he does not have the code, what is the chance a body shop can match? The paint is bubbling adjacent to the door handle - I think it is rust coming through and should repair ASAP.

Here is the color. I think it is a VW color - but I am not sure?
