Default Touch up paint no longer available

My local dealer informs me that touch up paint is no longer available in my color (Copenhagen Blue). What have others done in this situation?

I have had good luck with PaintScratch - http://www.paintscratch.com they matched the Pewter color of my 911 perfectly. They mix the paint and either put it into a pin,bottle,spray can, or can.

paintscratch.com

I used their paint to do my engine bay. You can buy it in everything from a paint pen to gallon cans.

My Diamond Blue Metallic is also NLA from Porsche. I found Paintscratch.com is the way to go.

If you have the code, or a sample (like the gas cap cover) you can go to any paint supply store and they can mix it for you - I have 2 shops within 10 miles of my house. Paintscratch is good, but very expensive.

I'll look into both options, as I do have the color code. Thanks everyone.
