Yup, only way to truly match it is to have a body shop do it with real auto paint, not spray paint. But if you have a basic color like white or black, you should be able to "somewhat" match it yourself with spray paint, but it won't be as smooth and good quality as a body shop doing it...

take your paint code, go to a auto car paint store, give them the number and they could give you a can of paint that matches it and you can go from there
