A good autobody supply store that sells paint will have a scanner that they can use to match new paint to your old paint.

Or you can try these guys:

Platinum is an off-white:

good luck matching... shops seem to be god awful at color matching... but its the best you can ask for

I used auto color library though and they were a close match to start out with.  I tried a local store with a scanner and it was a joke.

The auto color library scan the original paint chip and they honestly did a good job, maybe order a small amount to test?

I ordered another gallon a year later and it matched exactly so that was a help (auto color is TCP (restoration shop)... Cheap paint but does the job.
