Take the paint code and a sample to your local automotive paint supply store and have them color match. Then get one of these:

Also some body shop suppliers can take your paint code and make you up a spray can of the paint. I've done it plenty of times here. Or if there's no one around you there's places like http://www.apstowerpaint.com/index.php That can ship you a spray can from the paint code. I used them some time ago and it was a good match. |

I bought some Pearl White paint and a rock chip paint stick from these guys a while back. Also some code-matched paint for my Camry, but as that paint is metallic, it didn't work out so good, (but I don't blame the spray-can paint, I ended up having to rush-finish the job, plus I've NEVER been able to get metallic paint to look right) The VW L87 Pearl White stuff I got was good though. I see they do have L390.

I've bought a number of difficult to find colors from automotivetouchup.com and been impressed with the color match thus far. they have aerosols, touch up and bulk.
