Question touch-up paint

does anybody know where to get touch-up paint in olympic blue or know of a place to color match it? I really dont want to get a new paint job as my stock paint looks almost as good as new!!

I've used Tower Paint http://www.towerpaint.com with good success. They can do pints or rattle cans to match by code or you can send in a small painted sample such as a headlight lid.

I got a less than welcoming response from the local auto body supply places - they seem to shun "walk in" business and only want to deal with their volume customers, i.e. the big body shops. Tower will do a $15 order without giving you any grief at all and you don't have to leave your desk...

I had a local auto paint supplier mix me up a couple rattle cans of Signal Orange a while back (I still have an extra can if anyone needs one). They had a pint min., around $25 as I recall, plus something like $7 per spray can (~4 cans to a pint of paint). In my case I didn’t have them match the paint, but the code. No problems, so it may be worth calling around.
