you're not going to be able to get the factory paint. all body shops use different paint suppliers. most reputable shops will use high quality brands (dupont, basf glasurit, ppg, sikkens, spies hecker, etc.). the quality of the paint match and the texture match depends on the quality of the shop and skill of the painter at that shop. also, pearls are an additional factor in repair difficulty. three stage paints (pearl being the second stage to be applied) requires a very experienced tech to make it look right.

do research on the best shop to take your car to and forget about getting the actual factory paint. google or get on a local car forum to find out which shop is the best in your area.
