Look for a Auto Body Paint Supply shop that sell auto paint supplies.I got one nearby and they did it for free.I sure helped the color match on my ARE cover.

the paint code isnt always accurate. Sometimes the shade of paint is different. Chevy is especially bad about their paint. that silver birch color they have has like 10 different shades that the paint code does not show

Very true... I've seen them miss bad on more than one occasion. Generally speaking though, they're pretty good...
