I'd assume he's looking for recommendations as well
I saw that but really I have bought from anyone that can fill the order and gotten good product. As you can see, no one has yet favored one over another. It's color availability, product type, price, shipping — a whole lotta things to consider. One company is not going to do it all.
The point is people come on here and ask the most general questions you can imagine with
NO details and expect their quest to be resolved in an Internet instant.
Sorry, that don't always work.
Looking for an online source for custom mix rattle can paint. None of the automotive local paint stores offer this service.
Looking for your favorite go to source for this, vs a random store from a google search..
As the retired bodyshop owner, let me throw a small wrench in your thought process when I ask the following two part question:
"Do you want it to match, if so, how closely do you want it to match"
I say this as anything produced in the last 20 years will have not only "alternate mixes" to the color code shown, but will also have "aged paint" factored in to the potential mix. If you are painting a truck cap, and just want the color to come close, then a spray can could be the easy way out. If you plan to drive your Mercedes SUV to your office every day, and don't want the repair to stand out like a sore thumb, then a spray can just won't do. Then there are some colors that you just can't get in a spray can, usually those that are tri stage (base coat of color, then a mid coat of color, then clearcoat, all with 8-22 alternate mixes from the base and mid coats), or have a lot of mica or metallic involved. Solid colors (red, black, green, blue, white, orange, etc), piece of cake, spray can away......
Now, to answer your question, as others have alluded to above, you might be better off finding your local automotive grade paint shop, let them take an electronic sample with their equipment (called a "color eye"), and custom mix paint to match what you plan to paint. They can also guide you as to the best bang for your buck in most cases. Finally, don't get wrapped up with one brand or another, PPG, Dupont, Sherwin Williams automotive, House of Colors, etc........Why, simple, there are only 6 major automotive paint manufacturers (20 that make additional products such as mica or liquid metallics for mixing certain color combinations) making the base products around the world, they all sell product to one another, then wrap a label around them, sometimes theirs, sometimes others, but they all come from the same places....I'll leave it at that.

Just to be clear, most anything paint wise that can be sprayed out of a “rattle can” is an air dry product. Enamel or lacquer predominantly. The paint will not set up or cure in the can, if you don’t use it all. (It will set up in the nozzle, if you aren’t careful) The minute you start to talk about paints that cure with a catalyst (epoxy, urethane) i.e. they are mixed as 2 components (2K) then the time from mixing to it becoming a solid blob is measured in hours. So you need to spray it with something that can be cleaned after use, with a solvent. Aerosol type sprayers just don’t lend themselves to being cleaned in this way.
Eastwood does sell some 2K paint products in an aerosol can. The are loaded with paint and catalyst in separate compartments. When you are ready to use them, you depress the cap, which punctures the membrane between the two compartments. At this point you are on the clock, as the paints will set up and become unusuable within hours. And you throw the can away.
I guess there are “sprayers”, where you can pour the catalyzed paint in, charge it with compressed air, spray it, and clean it. It starts to look like a spray gun at that point.

My local auto paint store will take paint out of a can thin it out properly and put it in an aerosol can. They will add a catalyst if you wish. When I get the paint catalyzed I store it in the fridge when not in use and can usually get 3 - 4 days of life out of it. (Soak in in hot water to warm it up before use, which is also a good tip with partially used areosol cans - they work much better.) It’s not expensive if you supply the paint.
Super Cheap auto here in NZ and I suspect Australia will mix your paint code and fill a spray can, what I was surprised to see was how little paint they actually used its about the same amount as the plastic cap. Not what you were asking about but just an indication of how much paint THEY put in.

My local automotive paint shop can make up any color you want, factory, stock, custom mixed in a spray can. I think it’s become fairly common. I don’t know if they could or would put any paint you bring in in a spray can. Never hurts to ask though.
While on the subject, I ran across the attached video for a drill powered spray paint can shaker and made my own out of a piece of fiberglass pipe, a piece of wood and some threaded rod. Works great.
