Any reputable body can provide you with an exact match. Just give them the proper paint code.
It's all computerized these days.

+1 I've had work done at non-certified body shops on other cars in the past. All were able to get the paint needed to match.

My Ride: Coming soon...

I would go to a local paint store. The one in my area is called PPG, but they have a catalog of all the brands. You can purchase the paint (and clearcoat) directly from them and it will be the same as OEM. Then have the shop of your choice do the work. I did this for my motorcycle and got OEM Lamborghini paint for a reasonable price. But you don't need much to shoot a motorcycle...
