It used to be that paint color matchers would hang out at the port and match the colors by hand as the cars rolled off the boat. Most paint manufacturers matched just about all car makers paint colors.

Now with the digital age, this is no longer necessary. The auto paint store will have a "gun" that they will take a shot of the paint on your car and mix it up perfect for you. Keep in mind that metallic colors are the hardest to match and apply in order to get a perfect match, but I have seen it done many times.
