Do you realize how small those containers are? Those are just for touching up small spots.

You may find something close, but I doubt they have the "exact" color. I would recommend going to a body shop and see if they can mix some paint for you to match. Unless your car has been recently painted, it's probably faded a little from the sun so getting the 'exact' Mazda color won't match 'exactly'. Body shops can mix paint to match exactly what's on your car now.
