Peugeot touch up paint colours

Clearing out the garden shed before Christmas I noticed my old peugeot 10 speed that had been gathering dust in there for many years. I did think about taking it to the tip, but decided it'd be more environmentally friendly to fettle it up and get it running again. Anyway after many enjoyable hours of tinkering and polishing she is running beautifully and looking reasonably smart:

The only real blemish now is some missing paint on the rear seat stays from where I used to carry a cable lock wrapped round the seat post and it chipped the paint off.

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have the same colour bike and know the code of a suitable touch up spray?
It's a kind of metallic silvery pastel greenish colour (mid 80's vintage) and looks like it'll be a real pig to try and get a match for.

Or maybe I should just forget about it and just enjoy riding the thing? it's not as though it's a valuable classic or anything, just a solid usable bike again.

    If you take it into a local car paint shop (a proper one, not Halfords), they'll probably sort something out for you
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos
