Anything can be matched with experience. And yes, multiple test panels are needed. Of course, you could give it a shot with just the paint out of the supply store and see how it goes. I am sure it will look better than whatever it looks like now.
Best is to do one continuous area of color and not try to blend in a color to an existing panel. Blending is yet another level of experience needed.
Keep in mind that this is a chemistry system. Primer, base coast, reducer / thinners, clear / activator. Stick to all the parts and not try to mix and match. But it does get expensive, especially for a small spot spray as you will have to overbuy or buy in very small quantities. Your buddy's body shop might be helpful to just sell you a small amount out of their 5 gallon containers. Best is to not experiment with this and that until you have done a few hundred jobs.
