There should be a sticker on your driverside door piller. Thats where the paint code is. And just go to your local paint shop/store and get a pint.

you can get your actual car paint in a spray can at a paint store if that's what you want.

I would like to point out that the brake calipers would get hot, and you should really look into a high termp paint made specifically for that. You can't just throw any type of paint on it.
