Pantone used to sell a gadget like a little camera that takes a shot of color and gives you the components. Since then, there is now an app for that! You can download for 10 bucks or less for your smart phone and match pretty closely, or you might be able to borrow one from a good car paint store.

Haven't tried it, hope someone can, I have some touch up to do....
