Default Best sources for color matched paint?

Looking to paint a new Joe Toth front splitter I have in biarritz white. Color code 9A2.

Did some googling and found all kinds of generic places online for paint. Not sure what to think of places like "automotovetouchupdotcom" etc...

Anyone have any suggestions on the best place to source good quality paint/clears?

Thank you.

I've used Dr. Colorchip with great success. It takes some practice with the technique but the results are pretty good.

I have had really good luck with a local automotive paint supply place. Any good paint supply store should be able, if you give them your paint codes they can make you up a rattle can.

PPG is what the pros use. Your color should be an easy match. Be sure to used PPG clear coat with hardner, and sand with 2000 grit, then buff.

+1 PPG. Tell them your application (plastic/flexible/metal/rigid) and they will mix in additives to ensure the best bond. And will supply the correct primer.
