Default Touch Up Paint

I need to paint a Trim piece on my new Topper. My 13' 150 is ( n1 ) Blue Jeans...Blue. I contacted my Ford dealer and was advised that Ford does not sell Touch Up Paint in Spray Can's....????? Advise....Please...

BTW, Duplicolor does not produce the Paint as of yet.

Go to a body shop supply store, you won't get it in a spray can but I think you can buy it by the pint. Then either get a paint sprayer of just let a body shop handle it.

Yah....I was trying to avoid the Body/Paint Shops, this is a very simple trim piece ( project ). Really wanting simplicity/affordability. It's a want in one hand & sh_t in the other kind of deal. I have a feeling as to the weight of the answer.......

Try Car-Quest Auto Parts. I just had a custom spray can made for my 2000 F-150 after having no luck elsewhere . It's a standard spray can they mix with a factory truck base color for $16.95 then I used a clear coat from Dupli-color $ 7.89. NAPA will also make the paint in spray but it was $18.95 a can w/3 can minimum

Try these guys http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ I've been using their touch up paints for a number of years. The mixes have been spot on each time. And yup, they do list the N1 (Blue Jeans Metallic).

You guys are frick'n great..! From your suggestions I found that the Main Napa Store in Tampa will make-up your paint Code in a Spray Can for $19.94. This saves me all the way around....! Very Cool....Thanks everyone. Steve
