Default Z06 wheel touch up paint availability

I have some speedline Z06 wheels that I want to touch up and redo the center caps.

I have done some searches and found the paint codes.
WA 9789
Duplicolor GM 435
Plastikote GM 7221

My problem is that I can't find anyone that sells the Duplicolor or Plastikote spray cans for this color. I tried Autozone, Advance, O'reillys, Carquest, and online at a bunch of places. Even duplicolor refers you to stores that sell their product, but those stores don't carry and can't (or won't) get this paint number.

I also found a thread that lead me to the 2005-2007 competition gray (or gunmetal gray) is the same color with the paint codes.
WA9243
Duplicolor GM 396

I looked for these numbers also and I can't find someone who sells these numbers either.

I know I can get some custom mixed at a couple of places, but I would rather pay the 7 or 8 dollars instead of the 30 dollars to mix it. (I know I am cheap)

Does anyone know what stores carry them or where I can order from?

Thanks.

http://automotivetouchup.com/ has it also and they're a little cheaper. I just got a spray can from them a couple weeks ago.

Only thing with automotivetouchup.com is they don't have a search by paint code. I called them and gave them the code and they made it up for me. The person i spoke with also said that the code was showing up in their system as being used on 1994 GM vehicles. So either call them like i did, or just search the site by selecting 1994 as the year, Chevrolet as make, and all models and WA9789 will show in the results so you can order online that way.

For anyone in Canada looking for the GM-435 Duplicolor - Canadian Tire carries it. i just picked up a tube and it matches my 01 Alcoa's well too - it's slightly lighter but not noticeable to the eye.
