Porsche Crest Fender redo

Well I posted here a little while back that someone had dented my fender in a parking lot. (And of course left the scene).
Anyway I really didnt want to have any body filler on my car even though the damage wasn't too bad.
I bought a used fender from another member here and my car and the fender are guards red but they don't quite match ( I really didn't expect them too, but I was hoping maybe...) so here is my question.
What is the best way/place to get the paint matched? I would like to paint the fender before I put it on the car.
Eventually I will paint the whole car but for the mean time I would like the car to look decent.
Should I go to a body shop and have it matched? I would really like to just get some paint that is matched and do it myself but I don't know if a body shop will give me the paint.
Any help out there would be appreciated

Unlike women, a race car is an inanimate object. Therefore it must, eventually, respond to reason.
