If you bring it in an automotive paint supply store may be able to match it and get it for you in a can. Downside is paint probably won't last long and will scratch/peel easily.

A bodyshop could match your paint.
Automotive supply shop could also.
The problem is they would not be able to get it into an aerosol can.

If you have a piece of what you want to paint go to home depot/ lowes/ sherman williams ect and compare it to the can. Remember your vehicle is faded and the original color at this point is not it's current color.

You have to consider adhesion even if you match the paint perfectly it wont stick very well unless you prep it properly.
Even if you do all the correct prep work the first time you bang a fender off a tree it will probably shatter and flake off.

A better idea may be searching on e-bay for what you are looking to paint.
Also tryyour local salvage yards for replacement plastic.
