Go to a proper car paint shop for a start. a) they will know what they are talking about and b) the paint will be far higher quality

But your shade will be different and maybe not original etc etc.

As above, take the car to a painter to do or if you really want to do it yourself use

I'm not saying take it to a body shop, but a proper car paint supplier. They can mix whatever colour you need into a can and the spray cans give far better coverage/spray pattern than halfords ones
