I have gone to several different Napa, Autozone, Pepboys, and Advanced Auto Parts stores in my area and I am having problem. I know my color (code NA - Dk. Tourmaline Green) and the number of the can of my color I need (T295). I can't find a store that carries that particular color. How can I get it? I was going to use it to paint a grille and headlight trim I got for next to nothing from a junkyard to make them body color. Could I just go to my local Auto Zone and ask them to order it for me? Will they do that? If not, how else could I get it?

Check out the www.autobarn.com web site. They have all the Duplicolor paints.You can order on line. JOE.
 












Als post above is the one to check out, these paints are mixed to order only, they also have the clearcoat that works with there paints, duplicolor is good for small touch up projects, paintscratch is as close to OEM as you can get IMO
 






Or visit a body shop.
Some will be nice enough and mix up some touch up for free.
Others will just charge a few bucks.
 






Seeing as I got the grille and mouldings for $10 and thought that I might experiment on it. I know paintscratch is the best, and no dissrespect to you Al, but I can't see spending $30 a can for something that I am messing around with. I have used their paint in the past and it is excellent, but pricey for what I am using it for. I ended up ordering from autobarn.com as suggested above. If it turns out good, I will put it on. If it looks bad, I will put my grille back on that i currently have on my X. Thanks again guys! :)
 






I had the same problem with mine, they don't even have a spray for it, only the small scratch fix brush.

I think they figure if the paint offsets the center of gravity the X will rollover. :p
