I painted this lamp today, and two others like it. All three of these lights were rusted and looking like crap. I was having difficulty matching the right color. Ace Hardware makes a rustoleum like product that can be tinted and matched to any chip, even one the size of a dime. So I used my handy Munsell Book to find the right color- with the help of my chips, I matched it perfectly at 2.5Y 8/2. 
This picture shows a swatch of the paint, painted on the original color.
