Colour matching to CB22 motorhome panels

I wondered if someone with a bit of knowledge about paint might be able to help me.

I'm scratching my head trying to work out what to do about a replacement panel on my Beddy. It should be the sort of beige colour (see picture) but it has been replaced with a brilliant white panel. My idea is to paint it - as I think sourcing a new one is going to be really difficult. I figured this one fits, so why disturb it? The panel is on the other side of the van out of shot.

My question is...does anyone know the best way to paint one of these and how best to get a good colour match?

I have already found a post with the stripe colours, so I'll be sourcing those from somewhere too to freshen the existing stripes and re-introduce them to the cabin.

It's probably doubtful that you'll get a rattle can to match.Rustoleum is a brilliant paint to "roller" on.Problem again though is getting a match.
I painted mine with a roller.

Looks great. Thanks - not a bad idea. What kind of paint did you use? I suppose I could paint the surrounding area to match probably white to match the cabin, effectively giving it a white skirt. Seems a pity though as it would look pretty different to original.

Has anyone used a colour matching service before?
