Tricks to get to custom colors?

I'm looking for advice form any experienced painters out there that can help me with a couple questions about colors. I'm working with my local PPG store and either they don't know or i haven't asked the right questions about custom (or not) colors. I went in and looked at 8 shades of non-metallic green, none of which lit my fire. I naively designed a sweet paint scheme in illustrator and walked in with CMYK codes for each of the colors, and thought there would be some magic way for them to put that into a box and pop out a formula to mix the paint. Apparently not.
  1. Is there any place online to see all the ppg auto paint chips so i can try to find close matches?
  2. Is there any place to figure out a formula for PPG paint based on something like a CMYK color or if i could figure it out a Pantone color?
  3. Anything else people could recommend to get to the color of my dreams for this bicycle?
Thanks,
~bob
