Default RE: paint?

Get a small sample of the paint and compare. It will be next to impossible to match the exact color on your car, with given fade, weather damage, and the actual color of it when it was first applied. If you can paint the fender without having to paint the edges, you may be able to fade the color in and fool the eye into not seeing the shade difference. You can do this by fading in the new paint on just what needs to be painted and then clear coating the entire fender. Re-painting just a section of a car sucks because it is always difficult to make it look right. I know I didnt answer your question on the paint code, I just wanted to convey what could be done if you could get as close to possible.

If you go to advanced they have a book that tells you the part number of the duplicolor can you need based off the original color name or code.
