1 Go to local automotive paint shop. Give them your paint code and they can mix up the paint and put it in a rattle can for you.
2 Go to dealership and get a rattle can of the correct paint code.

I have bought the little touchup bottles, thinned the paint and used a cheap airbrush system( I bought at Big Lots $10) to do touch up and paint small parts.
