Body shops do not buy paint from auto makers, auto makers do not supply quantities of paint, they either mix it in house using computer color matching or have it mixed out of house at a paint supply store............

All paints used in body shops are mixed.

Use PPG mixed paint for as close to OEM color tone match, it'll cost more, but in the body work industry, you get what you pay for. Dupont vs. PPG matching OEM is quite noticeable from experience
