Default Looking for Spray Paint cans bright yellow code 56

I was wondering if there is anyone that knows where I can buy or order online spray paint premixed in aerosol cans for 1975 bright yellow paint code 56 WA4669. I'm assuming that the original paint on the car is single stage? don't know if its lacquer or enamel, maybe someone can chime in here...preferably in Canada but okay if in US too. Can't find too much info on web...Has anyone used it? blending in flaking or chipped areas with good results...

thanks in advance

I have had excellent results from MICROFINISH LLC, 208 PLAJCHE CT, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70123, (504-818-2334). Base coat cans are $20.00 Clear coat cans are $10.00. If they don't get a perfect match the first time they will try again for free, with free shipping on the second try. They give you a placard to spray the base coat and clear coat on to try the match without spraying the car. If it's not a perfect match, follow their directions and send the placard back indicating "lighter or darker" needed. If you have a previous match, send that and they will match it perfectly.

I've gotten spray cans mixed up for me by the Paint Circuit over in North York.
I took one of my parts with me as well as the paint code, they scanned the part and it mixed accordingly, turns out the car didn't really get enough paint so it's semi-transparent (yellow is like a no-hide color)
Since it was base/clear also needed a can of jamb clear
Excellent stuff, very happy with the match and quality. I used it to touch up the underside of the hood, headlights, a bunch of stuff, need to get another can or two made as I'm out now.

Anyway, they're closer to Toronto so maybe give them a call
