look in your phone book for a local autobody paint supplier...They can hook you up with paint and clear and all the ish you need. If its your first time doing it yourself good luck, its a loooota work and skill involved. I am the painter at a local shop here and it took me a good 6months experience and over two years of college training in body work to be as good as i am today.
I would not buy paint from paint scratch or the dealer, go get a reputable paint line, ppg, dupont, spies hecker, you name it and get all compatable products for the best job.

I got paintscratches paint in the rattle can (not sure if its the same thing sold in quarts) and its definitely not OEM quality, it looks ok but if your looking for perfection don't do it.
