I Think that your best bet to match the color (for the chips only) is
to contact one of the companies that frequent the auto dealers and
repair chips on newly aquired used cars. I have used them quite a bit
and they work very well.
They mix the paint on the spot and build up the chip to the surface and
then finally airbrush is on. I imagine you could probably talk them
into mixing up a little extra for you.
BTW paint codes and etc. dont mean very much to most of them because
they tint it to match the paint as it appears at that time so if you
are due for a buff and wax, you might want to do it beforehand.
Good Luck,
