Default Master paint mixer needed

I bought a car, that I can’t track down who painted. Nobody around my area can seem to match the paint. I hit a cat doing 30mph and it busted my cf grill and cracked the paint up. I had 1 guy spray it 3 times. With each time getting better but he’s gave up. In certain light. It matches. But direct sun. You can see its off. Can anyone match matte finish on here or someone you know and trust in your area. That I could maybe send my gas lid to and create the color….??? Here’s a pic. I thought it was maybe shark gray with matte finish. But sharks to dark. Went with Mercedes selenite mango matte. Really close. But not it. I really don’t want to paint the whole car. Unless I have to.

You would have to blend it into the hood and fenders.

I’ve never seen anyone blend matte, it’s panel or nothing they all say.

Yes lol. I wasn’t going fast. It was early morning. Still dark. I had left out to be first at the tire shop to get the r888r mounted up. I live in a very small town. Where every road is a back road. Lots of deer. So slow roll early mornings. Out of no where that cat came. I felt it hit. It went into the grill. Causing all kinds of havoc. When I come to a stop. Cat ran off
