Been there, done that and if you find someone that I couldn't, let us all know....that said, I did buy a quart but it needs mixing with all the other parts. I'll be taking that over to Larry for Sarah's firewall, engine is out....and he wants to repaint her firewall. I'll keep a small portion as touch up.....it's a green, proper name escapes me at this moment but I have someone else awaiting in the wings for a small bit also. I suffer from short term Baby Boomer memory loss, at the moment I can't remember Sarah's color.

Cheers.............

find a local automotive paint store and drive your car there - they can color match to whatyou have on your car and put it in a pint, spraycan, touch up brush etc.

This is the only way to go. The color on your car might have faded, wrong to begin with, or the paint you receive may be incorrect.
