Your local automotive pro paint supplier(s)will be able to mix up whatever you need.

No joy at the online touch sites as are local shops. Paint code is O8D.

Don’t understand your last post.
Your local paint shop can match it. There’s a variety of ways to do it. But the way I’ve done it is bring a piece in and match it as closely as possible to their paint samples (they have books with thousands of shades, so you can get it very close). Then they do an eye match. My current guy makes some adjustments then smears a bit on my car or sample piece. Wipes it off and makes adjustments. Repeats until he gets it (usually a couple of times). He gets it spot on. There’s also a computerized spectrometer gizmo some shops have. Anyways, they match paint all the time. |

That’s bizarre, a paint shop that won’t sell paint.
Try another one? See if a body shop will mix and sell you some? |
