you can get the paint code easily. wash it up real good and drive to an auto paint supplier. they have laser guns that read the paint and make a mixture of it's pre-stored paint codes according to their books.

I think he means your going to loose cooling ability to the engine by getting rid of all those holes. I doubt that would make a difference though.
