where to get a can of matched spray paint>?

I need to do some touch ups on my car due to the previous owner takign care of some rust but using the wrong color to repaint! I have a harbour blue S5 and want to get probably 2 or 3 cans to fix it up.

Anyone know a good place to get it matched that doesn't cost much? $10-12 a can would be perfect!

I've not seen touch up paint in a spray can for my car ( an FD) or, an FC. I think the only way you're going to get some in a spray can is to have it mixed at a body shop. They sell bottles that you can pour this pain in and spray just like a spray can.

the problem u might run into is that the new paint isnt going to match exactly even if its the same color. ur gonna have to deal with faded paint even if it doesnt look faded it is.

You can also go to most of your local automotive paint and body supply shops and they usualy mix the paint for you.
Also if your worried about color matching.
Dupont and PPG have a photogrpahic paint color machine to take a picture and match the color of your car to avoid a varied color.

I'm not concerned about a perfect match. It's going to be recoated after the FD is done feeding on my bank accounts. I just want to get rid of the mismatched colors from touch-ups by the previous owner.

JunRpower, is the mixed stuff for a sprayer, or will it be put intoa spray can? I checked advance and they won't do it, so next I'll ask Napa and O'reily.
