Hi Michael,

I just ordered a couple of spray cans for some light touch up work
from http://www.oempaints.com  try them and see if they can match
what you've got. I haven't had a chance to use the paint yet so I
can't attest to their quality, but for the small areas I need to do,
it should be fine...beats looking at primer :-)

Good luck
