You can order a small bottle from Mid America....like $5.
I just went to my paint supply store (a PPG shop) and gave them the code and then they mixed a bottle for me....was under $10. They pretty much use Acrylic Enamel single stage for touch up paints.

I just ordered some LeMans blue from this company.
Their touch up is laquer based.
I called and gave them the color and year.
Don't know how good of a match it will be.

Depending on how much you are touching up (is it a panel or small spots?), Mid America's little bottle is close. Figure that no packaged goods like that sold through a vendor have any guarantee of matching exactly, though I have had good luck with the Mid America touch-up paint myself. If you are doing a whole panel, I would suggest taking your car or taking a panel (i.e. the rear exhaust valance) to the paint store and having them match it perfectly for you. Many places will do that.

I went with PaintScratch company becuase their paint is laquer based.
I read in the car care section the

chip repair kit works well.
The Langka chip repair kit says you must use laquer based touch up.
