Look in the Yellow Pages for car paint supplies etc, these will make you an aerosol with the exact colour of you car for around £9-£10.
BTW this will be just a basecoat so you will need laquer as well

I used this firm to get paint for my car.

http://www.paints4u.com/AboutP4u.aspx

Came within a couple of days, and matched 100%.
Their cans are a good size too (400ml).

You can get ripped off for small cans. Halfords prices for example are not bad until you price up the can size against other suppliers.

Hope this helps you. :)

Boot would be o.k with a spray can but not the whole car, it would look worse than when you started.
You need the proper gear to do the whole car.

Must be a local auto paint supplier near you & a boot don't cost much to get done by a body shop if you shop around ;)
