I belive all you probly need is a paint code and any place where they mix paint should be able to mix it. I just wouldn't go to any rinky dinky shop though. Take a sample with you as well.

About a galllon and a half. You always want to buy more than you need so you don't run out partway into the spray. And it leaves a bit for touch ups if you store it within the temps recommended by the manufacturer.

Yep!......if they really are "rinky-dink" , they won't be in business very long. At least not around here.
"Where could I get some paint to repaint the front of a 951? It is Copenhagen blue."
Any auto paint supply store. Having the year/model and/or paint code will help a whole bunch........but.......if ya know the whole situation, it may NOT come out to be perfect. An actual color match done by a professional paint shop, will get ya there though. And I'm not talking Maco. If you need to ask this question, you NEED to take it to a professional, if you want it to look "good". Just my opinion. HTH

As granite said, tell them the year and model and they should be able to look up the mix. You wont need the paint code or a sample. They will even have a big book with paint chips of all the colors so you can verify that it is the same as what's on your car.
