Default Where to buy automotive spray paint?

I was looking for spray paint for my GM vehicle and Canadian Tire does not carry my colour nor can they special order for me.

Does anybody know where else I can buy rather than having to purchase online?

I had a spray can made at NAPA a few years ago to match a 65 Vette.

They just used the original paint code and ordered it in.

Try Paint Circuit Auto Body Supply 473 McNicoll Ave North York
As long as you have the paint code they can make an aerosol paint to match your colour.
From what I remember the colour match was a base coat. I then had to apply clear on top of the base coat. They supply the clear as well.
I had good results.

You might also want to try Carquest, one of which is on Denison.

They match your number and take a day to get it for you. Great paint.
