  The paint code is usually on the radiator core support.  It shouldn't 
be oxidized much since it's a clearcoat paint, I think (they didn't peel 
so I'm not positive about that.)
  I was going to say a paint shop should be able to mix it but Rudy 
beat me to it.  If you are friends with a body shop, they should also 
be able to mix it as well and in the case around here, more likely 
to be willing to mix AND match as small of a quantity as the software 
gives a recipe for.  Depending on the paint shop guy and the painter, 
one may be much more willing and capable of fine tuning for a good 
match.  
  If you want it to look not so touched up you could mask somewhat 
and airbrush or paint on then when it's cured, #600 off the excess 
that's not in the pit, chip, or scratch and then buff out.  :-)
  If there's enough to do it REALLY well then bum a little hardner/catylist 
off of a body shop so the stuff hardens better and is more impervious 
to solvents and whatnot.
