Your exact paint code is on the VIN plate so you could try Halfords (not that i would tbh).

I popped into Halfords yesterday for a rattle can to spray up some morettes. No chance, no Subaru paints at all.
I ended up going to a specialist paint shop, Autopaint (South Wales) Ltd. Cost me £9 for a rattle can of 64c green met. They mixed it and put it in the can while I waited, top service.

Unless it's on a track car or something you really don't care about how it looks, don't try and paint a panel with rattle cans, it'll look gash.
Far better to pay a painter 100 notes and get it done properly.
