Need Paint Code for my '07 Turbo "Atlas Gray"

I am in the process of painting a few trim pieces from the standard flat black plastic to match my car. Where can I get the Paint Code for Atlas Gray? ? ?

Try to find Spies Hecker, Glasurit or other higher end German brands. We use Spies for nearly every plastic component we paint (19 stages plus clear). And go slow...

Are you painting it yourself? I would assume not, so why don't you just call the shop that you are planning to use and ask them which paints they use and then research it

Thanks for the help. Glasurit is a name my cousin mentioned to me who will be painting it(Spray's MB's, Maserati's, BMW, etc..). Still trying to narrow it down on which company/brand to go with that makes an MX7.

Getting a Porsche body shop to give you specific brands/suppliers they use is next to impossible.
