Even if you are only using spray cans I would talk to a auto paint supply store, they will do an exact colour match for you and can even put the colour into a pressure pack for you to use if you dont have compressor/gun set up.  If you can borrow a compressor and a gun or buy and resell when you finish it will give you better results and make life so much easier if you intend on spraying several cabs.

Yep.. agree here.
Auto paint suppliers are the go.. acrylic lacquer dries in 10 mins easily and will make life much easier for you.. gives a great finish also.
Make sure you sand the undercoat smooth or youll see every deviation at end of paint session.
Try to avoid enamels in a can especially gloss.. its so thin and causes leaching plus it takes forever to dry.

Youll be suprised at how LITTLE paint you require to do the colour in a stencil job, but allow 1ltr for your base colour
