Default Ultimate Green paintwork

Need a specialist that can paint Ultimate Green paintwork on a Focus RS that can get the colour spot on. Is there anyone out there?

its a 3 stage pearl paint very very tricky to match exactly, most of the time you have to blend out onto the adjacent pannels ( i'm a paint sprayer), the colour varies depending on the number of coats of pearl u put over the ground coat. \n u get what u pay for when it comes to paint jobs
