        Check out your yellow pages for an automotive paint store and call
around.   If you have the original paint code(DuPont, Martin Seynor, etc),
they can mix up some touchup paint precisely according to the
formula(rather than having to match what you have). (And they usually have
listings for the Sunbeam colors if you need to look them up).  Many of them
can also place it in spray cans for you.  Cost per can is about $5-$15 plus
paint.   Cost of paint varies depending on color and type(Lacquer,
Urethane, etc).  Usually a half pint is plenty for several cans.  This is
more expensive than Duplicolor, but at least you're not limited to painting
your Tiger the same color as a Toyota to get touchup paint.  Hope this
helps.
