Thanks Jim c
Take off a bit from an inconspicuous place (maybe 2" by 2") and take it to Wal-mart paint department. They can match it up almost perfectly. It won't matter how old and faded the paint is because the apparatus they use to match the paint goes on its appearance today. I did this a couple of times back home and got near-perfect results.

I'd talk to Wal-mart first though. Just because they did it in Minnesota doesn't mean that they'd automatically do it here.
