I can't remember where I saw it but the company that does the paint sets for HD has provisions to do what you want, but I can't remember what the shop name is, if I remember i'll post that info.

Even for the original painter, matching candies can be a bitch. The cool thing with painting a front fender is it isn't close to any of the other sheetmetal, so a slight variance wouldn't be noticeable.
