If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Dealer.

Paint specialist, body shop.. Good ones have the tech to custom mix dang near any color you want, either by code or by sample.

A tube of paint from a dealer is probably cheaper and easier.

I think the bottle of touch-up paint from my dealership was like, 16$?
Not very expensive, definitely worth it.

Back in the day (when I used to look at that sort of stuff), the aftermarket paints like Duplicolor had good coverage for the Big 3 but had little or no coverage for foreign cars.
