You can order from the dealer, but be aware that many of the metallic colors are two or even three stage paints.&nbsp\\; The paint might cost more than your helmet.
&nbsp\\;
Go with AZRenagade's recommendation.

You might just run over to a local body shop and check their paint chips.&nbsp\\; I'd suspect they would have something so close you couldn't tell the difference.&nbsp\\; They could then do the paint and clearcoat.&nbsp\\; My wife got her helmet painted that way.

Bear in mind that sticker adhesive and paint contain solvents. These solvents can have a detrimental effect on the integrity of the helmet.
