Just looking at the Glasurit database one more time, if that is 31p then it very likely helios blue. While it may have some pearlescent in it it's not a 3 stage pearl. Just a regular metallic basecoat.
Like I said above the way a Shop would match the color would be to use a color spectrophotometer (color camera) and match the color that way. You would generally take 3 readings to ensure that you are getting consistent readings. That would get you what we call a blendable match. Meaning something that is within one or two shades. When blended correctly your eye cannot pickup the difference. If you panel painted you would be able to see the difference. That is the most you can expect because it's nearly impossible to panel paint a metallic and have it match exactly.
A paint jobber that carries Glasurit (BASF) would be the preferred choice as Glasurit was used originally and they will have the most accurate formulas.
