Matching Toyota paint

I've been wanting to re-paint my hood of my 87 yota because the PO put a replacement hood on it, and it looks like he just primered it and then spray painted it, and needless to say looks real bad. I looked at the color code and its 202, but online all I can find is just the little scratch removers. Is there colors that are real close to it from a different brand or anything? Thanks

Old paint has a tendency to have fainted from the original color.
I believe most paint shops can take a sample of your paint (faked corner or whatever) and match it exactly, fade and all.

Alright thanks a ton, I think that 12oz can will do for just the hood.

Re-paint

Excuse the high jack, but hope this helps. I didn't think I could do it. I bought 3 cans of 'Dupicolor T100 high gloss black Truck, SUV, Van' paint when the wife left for her quilting class and look what I did. Sanding minor surface rust and masking 'em stripes took time, after a growler of Steamworks IPA...I was a little proud. Cost: $12. Not bad for a recovered salvage.

Thank you, mine turned out great too, and only for $12 as well. Ill post some pics of mine here in a few days after I polish it. It said to wait a week on the can.
