Ok I have looked and looked guys all I can find are little things of touch up paint. Where I can I get large quantities? And what are the names of all the OEM colors, I just want to make sure I get them right. If anyone feels this needs moved please feel free to do so. Thanks.

you can always go to an autobody paint store and ask for it by color code, for example my car is KG2, or charcoal metallic. You can find this on a plaque under the hood or if your geeky enough you already know. If you get the code they will mix it.

If you want spray can stuff, good luck finding it and even better luck getting it to match and look good. I've gotten 'color match' paint and it doesnt match tons of times.

Thanks to both of you. That chart is great, thanx RockenReno. I want to change my car to a bright red, from about the same color as yours dareo. It needs some body work and I thought it would be nice to paint it after that too so I am going to need a lot of paint. Now I can't decide between ultra red or aztec red, or hot red. My first 240 was hot red, I think(90 cpe), and everyone told me it looked orange at night. I think its probably going to be either aztec or ultra red.
