Need help finding right color paint

[Axoman]

I bought a Pro-line 2007 Silverado body in hopes of making it look like my real life Silverado. It is a metallic brown color, called Desert Brown Metallic and seen in the picture below.

Anybody have any recommendations on if there is a similar paint available for an RC? I haven't been able to find anything.

You gonna spray it with air or rattle can paint? If your gonna spray it usin an airbus, you can always mix your owb custom color. If spraying with rattle can, not sure what approach you should take.

Thanks guys! That helps a lot.

I'm not looking for an exact match, just something in the ball park.
