Default OEM Spray Paint?

Hey all, does anyone have a good place to get OEM paint in a can?

I have a 2005 Ultra Yellow. I got a spoiler and would like to get it painted up

I went to a local paint shop and they used a color spectrometer once. (to make spray paint cans for $11 each)

Another time we used the paint code and the paint cards to match up (cards consisted of 12 different "KYO" shades from different mfg. dates)

Both were perfect, "Panel" matches.

Then I was disappointed with the clear coat, though it was really expensive and high quality automotive stuff from the same paint shop.

Now I go to body shops and bring the gas cap instead of trying to get that deep look with spray can clear coat

I used these guys.

https://www.automotivetouchup.com

Came out pretty good if I say so myself. Pained the lip using their product.... Looked really good for a few months till I bottomed out and now im missing a large chunk of paint on the passenger side.





They have many different options for oem paint codes.

Some local NAPA stores in the Denver area can color match with a paint code (yours is likely E33) and package them in spray cans.

I have been lookingfor some touch up paint.
Paint code is AX6 but not sure of color name. This site was recommended but when I put the code in I get this. I think my '04 is hibiscus red.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks much. Do you have a recommendation for any particular vendor? I am looking to address multiple road chips in the hood area. All are very small, and was planning on getting a brush touch up vice sanding and spraying the hood.

Unless you have a small paint booth and the painting skills to strip, prime and paint a hood properly, I'd suggest using something like Dr. Colorchip to get better results.
