if you have the formular u can get it made up over there
if u had made here shipping paint would be classed as dangerous goods and cost a fair bit

Given the changes in paint materials etc over the years I think even knowing the forumula wouldn't guarantee a match. For example Dove Blue and
Sealing wax red are two colours that never really come out the same way off the formula as they looked originally. You may be much better off taking
off the tail light or licence plate light housing and getting a local paint supplier to colour match by eye. Usually costs a few more dollars but at
least you'll know it is going to be the same (or as close as possible).
all the best

Try and find a factory color from any marque if possible thats a close match. Playing with custom colors is a pain when it comes to spot repairs when
you run our of paint. Go to your paint shop and look through their color swatches.
