paint match? V70-XC70 1998

My daughter smashed her front fender beyond repair. I found a pristine replacement at a pick and pull. Her car is dark blue; the fender is silver. I am thinking of painting it to match, and am wondering if anyone is aware of a color match for "Volvo dark blue" that I might find in a hardware or paint store. Not interested in the expense involved in buying from Volvo. Also considering just leaving the fender, with its gleaming silver paint, as is. Suggestions appreciated. Thank you

    I just learned this:
    A pal took his make, model, year and paint code to his NAPA store and they made him a can of spray paint for a replacement mirror. The match was perfect.
    He suggested 2 cans for a fender.
    As always, prep is everything.

    Also, there are places online. Autotouchup.com offers cans, spray cans, broad tipped and finely tipped pens. I had to wait two weeks for a fine tipped pen in an "unstocked color". You may prefer to avoid shipping time lag by going to NAPA.

    As mentioned, there are auto body supply shops which provide the same service.
