Depending on where you're spraying, it might be a better idea to get it professionally done. Over the years you're going to have some amount of fading, so even if you get paint in the right original colour it may not match up too well.

I got a can of steel silver (A34) paint in Motorways here in Cork, but I'm not going to use it on any body panels, just used it to paint the windscreen washers so far, was thinking maybe about the black bit under the windscreen but I've left it alone for now.

Vinny Byrne make up and sell car paint (and anything else you need) - and they are very helpful too. http://www.vinnybyrne.ie/
