Factory Touch up paint? in a spray can?

I got in a minor fender bender a while back, and my front bumper/nose got a bit scratched up.

I am looking for a couple of 12 oz spray cans or something of that nature to take care of it. (not super concerned about the finish) just want it to match.

I will sand it down and go through the proper procedure/prep. Just can't find the paint.

It is for:
Year Code Exterior Color
1995 05 Dark Purple

Tends to be a hard color to find at your local autozone...

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best place to locate this paint?

I'm just guessing because color codes are 4+ digits, but it looks like you are looking for Cyclamen Metallic, (WA160B) at least thats what Sherwin Williams lists, but you should double check the paint code by looking for your RPO label.

As far as purchasing spray paint, I've used Automotive Touchup, and found that they accurately mixed my difficult to mix Purple Pearl Metallic. Your results may vary.

Others have said with the proper color code most body and paint stores (like a sherwin williams automotive center) can accurately mix a can of aeresol spray paint for you too - maybe even at a more reasonable price.

Look in the phone book for auto body supplies. Most places like this are open to the public and will mix paint to match your car or to a body-code, and put it into whatever container you want, including spray cans.

The local place around here is Autofinishers.
