Paint matching!

Is there a stealership near you?
Are you looking for just the paint, or someone to fix the fairings and apply it as well? There have been treads on this in the past, basically to do a good job, two part paint is the way to go, but without proper ventilation it is very bad for you.
If you are looking for a painter, Les (cheekybandito) is highly regarded. There are a few others around here too, but I don't remember who they are.
Personally, I would leave the fairings as they are, the odds are incredibly high you will drop the bike again. The marks are a reminder every time you get on the bike to pay attention as you never know when you will get bit.

Look in the yellow pages for any automotive jobbers near you selling autobody supplies, they will sell paint. Automotive Finishes Ltd. would be my first choice. If a formula isnt readily available they can take a pc of your bike and put it under a spectroscope and get a color match, they is often preferable on older bikes as the sun fades greens and reds and new paint will not match.
Check out a preval sprayer, its about 12 bucks and is the secret weapon of touchup painters.
you'll likely find (once your done) that sending the work out is actually cheaper. Guys that do this have thinners and catalyst and reducers in bulk and can mix what they need. You get to buy full containers and have left overs. They deal with the toxic leftover disposal. And it shouldn't look like it was done in your shed.
