If you're looking for touch-up paint I got mine from http://www.expresspaint.com/

They might sell it in large quantities as well, but I don't know that for a fact.

You'll need the paint code, but there are generally plenty of places locally, and also places online that can mix you the proper paint and put it in an aerosol can for you. You just need the paint code.

of course i know the paint code.. but my problem is finding an actual place that does it. you're kind of telling me something i already know. also i don't need it in aerosol can. i need the actual paint to use with a spray gun. just can't find anywhere local or online so far.

Call another body shop and ask where they buy paint.

There was a spot of rust on my trunk that I fixed, and I ordered a can of Apex Silver from here. Matched very well, and it was only like $25 or something after shipping.
