Good reliable source for touch-up paint?

Since I'm waiting for the cash to do the engine rebuild, I thought I might as well tackle the paint chips on the hood and sides of the exterior. Is there anywhere trustworthy I can get good first-gen touch up paint? I've read the directions and it doesn't seem like it'd be too hard for me to do, I'm just concerned because all the websites I've visited show a darker shade for my color code (R7, Persimmon Red Metallic). The car assumedly hasn't faded that much though because the exterior color is the exact same shade quality as the interior painted surfaces (door jamb, firewall etc.)

Take the car to your local autobody paint supplier. He can match the current condition of the paint in person than anyone over the internet.
