Paint code matching

Anyone out there work or have worked in the auto paint world? I called my local store to see about getting a code mixed up. I was on hold for longer than I should have been and got the short and quick "NO" not for a motorcycle, but I can scan it and get close if you bring it in. But I don't have any pieces to bring in....

Did I just get lied to or does this sound legit? If I have a code should they not be able to mix it for me??
 
No, it's legit. Most shops don't have codes for motorcycles and often the codes changed or the colors changed for the codes. I've also seen where the paint codes will be the same for a motorcycle and a car (like Honda/Acura), but the colors are different. Scanning is the way to go.
 
OK Thanks man...Glad I wasn't a dick to the poor guy... ;D Might have to try to find a piece or just guess and get it close by paint chips.
