My impression is that most automotive paint stores can do this well 
if you have the paint code. The only problem is that the OE paint, 
like on the dash, is probably faded and the new paint will be like 
the car was when new, so sometimes the match is not as good as you'd 
like.

If you are doing the whole car this isn't much of a problem because 
few people will notice the difference between the dash and the rest, 
but if you're just doing a few panels then it can be a problem.
