Yes. Most, if not all, of the instrument manufacturers make portable hand-held spectrophotometers that could make the necessary measurements. You would then need to match those measurements with your existing paints or use your current colorant formulation system to predict the paint recipe. If you currently have a non-portable system that does this job, then you should be able to use the colorimetric values measured on the portable system with your current software to predict a match. The instrument manufacturers should be able to help you put together an appropriate system.
