    Just go up to painter supply or a similar company. They might even mix it to the color you want as well.
    I know it is expensive but you really don't want to use paint that has been sitting on a shelf for years.

    When we changed painters at work a few years ago we threw/gave away many gallons of paint because we didn't want to use an old product to save a few cents that could cost big $$$ to fix later.

      Yeah I know, I am just trying to get the car ready for my nephew's prom next month. He really wants to take the car but the ex keyed the living hell out of it. who know maybe someone ordered some extra or has decided to put off their paint project. it's worth a try and if I can get this done my nephew will remember it for the rest of his life!

        Did the key marks go into the metal?

              If you go with an economy brand you should be able to get new paint very cheaply...I would venture to say $150 or so. Might look at Summit's paint line..its priced very well and I hear it's decent.

                I went with PPG's omni line last year when I did my jeep, and it came out VERY well. Total was like 220 out the door. 1 gal Base, reducer, 1 gal clear, hardener, mixing cups, strainers, and sticks.

                Omni is PPG's "entry level" line, I was quite impressed with it to be honest, it sprayed very well, and looks fantastic.

                  Wow, that's a pretty good price. I almost spent that buying 1 quart base/clear activator/reducer for my iroc nose job.....Dupont Chroma system.

                    Its very well priced, and the results were quite impressive for what it is, and considering I did it, lol.

                          It was ppg, I am not sure tho. I do get a bit of a discount through school but it isn't a whole lot. I would go ppg or global anyday.
