Your best bet is to go to the local paint supply store and look at the SEM selection, or if they are able to match what you want.

I wish I had door panels worthy of being redone. But down here in texas, I've never seen a pair that were. The sun ruins interiors down here. I guess yall get rust though so it evens out.

I would rather redo an interior than cut out rust, weld, grind, fill, sand, prime, paint, and repeat. ;D

Yeah but you always got the front window and just the heat itself of being in the sun. Best thing you can do is keep it out of the summer sun which isn't always possible.
