Question How To Match Factory Paint

I want to touch up a couple of spots on my truck but how do I find paint to match?

It's a 2003 F250 (Dark Green) & the paint code on the door tag is PY

Thanks for the help in advance!

I've used this place twice and been 100% happy.
They explain on the site how to get you paint code and
VIN to get a perfect match.You can get it in a spray can
that in my 2 cases have been perfect matches
