just go to a paint shop and give them your car paint code.

and then ask them if they can put it in a spray can for you.

i work in.. and have worked in several body shops. and never once has any of them been able to put paint into a spray can.. not sayin that some shops might be able to. but HIGHLY doubt it.

however. you might be able to go to a shop and they'd be willing to mix you some paint up. or you could go to like a sherwin williams and they can mix it for you.

im not sure which exact company nissan gets thier paint from. ill look into it cause im curious as well.

Some Carquest Auto Parts stores sell paint and say they can mix up a spray can for about $15.

2LEET4U is absolutely correct. How do I know? I have done it several times.

I'll even give you the phone number all tho it's not in your area. (480) 610-0337. The name of the place is "Space Age Auto Store INC".

I think autozone sells OEM paint in aerosol spray cans, they have select colors but they can probably order you any factory color

Most of the basic paint colors have been the same for years
