Whelan is an unknown quantity at this point
Stock Paint (other than touch up bottles)

Where can I buy some. I mean obviously body shops can get it to repaint pieces, they dont use touch up bottles and brushes. I basically want a can of paint from the factory so I can do my own spots.

Anyone???

theirs an paint color code on the driver side of your door. you can buy the paint and make it yourself.

when i had my car repaired, the shop took 2 or 3 cans of different paint (one was clear coat for sure) and ive seen them mix it using certain amounts and whatnot. i had no idea what brand paint though, but im sure you can buy automotive paint.

There are places online to order factory matched spray cans, pints, and gallons of paint. Here are a couple. I'm sure there are more, though.

Call a local body shop and ask who they buy their paint from locally or if they can make a recommendation. Those places will usually sell the paint in aerosol cans and also by the pint, gallon, etc.
