I would just go with the colour in which you think is the closest. From previous experience, I found that light grey car primer seems to be a very good match. But if you are doing a pro job or getting someone to do the powder coating for you. I would just take a sample of a close match and get it as close as you can. I really wouldn't worry too much getting it 'spot on' not even simkits have the 'exact' colour. However, try emailing simkits and they may put you in the right direction.
