Spray paints that match Porsche colors

I'm starting a list of off-the-shelf spray paints that are identical or nearly identical to Porsche colors. I'm up to 3 now, since I just discovered that Rustoleum makes a "JD Yellow" which is nearly identical to Racing Yellow. (
@Bob Z may find this particularly useful....).
So the list so far is:
Rustoleum Sunrise Red = Guards Red
Rustoleum Sail Blue = Shark Blue
Rustoleum JD Yellow = Racing Yellow
Sunrise Red on a Guards Red hood...

I guess black would be an easy match, found a white to paint my key trim pieces to match my Cayenne in pure white. I'm guessing an off the shelf Aventurine Green Metallic is gonna be difficult.

Sorry about that. I discovered this paint today while looking for something else, and immediately thought of you. Where did you order? I recently ordered a can of paint from "myperfectcolor.com" and it wasn't even in the right ballpark.
In the long run, this Rustoleum is likely to save you some time and money -- if not this project, then the next...
This was supposed to be University of Texas burnt orange. Let's just say if wasn't 'my' perfect color....

No worries Tom! I ordered it from automotivetouchup.com and I requested an order cancellation today. They matched Miami Blue perfectly for me in the past albeit the first time they sent me a can of Green! But they said it was someone else's order by mistake. I just ordered a can of the Rust. JD from Lowes though since I want to see how close it really is...for $5 and change it is worth trying!

I'll be interested to see your findings on that paint. All I have to go on is the code-matched can of Racing Yellow I get from my local auto-paint store. I painted a bezel in it once and compared it to a RY car at the dealer, and it was super close. This JD yellow is likewise super close to the paint I have. Probably not 100% identical (though maybe), but within a range that is indistinguishable by eye unless the colors are touching or directly on top of each other.
