Question Color Match Paint
Does anybody know where I can buy factory OEM paint rather than just those small touch up paint bottles?

Bodyshops do go to places to buy paint. There's a pretty well known place in San Diego but the name escapes me at the moment. Are you looking for paints to mix and spray or a different form of touch up?

In San Diego, it's called Car Color Supply.

a buddy of mine had has front end repainted and the shop got the paintcode from the IS but they still have to add a little this or that to it, in order to get to match your paint exactly...
