Kevin,

Any auto paint store can put paint in an aerosol can, but it ain't cheap.
Usually the smallest quantity the store will work with is a pint (16 fl oz),
they will divide that into 3 or 4 aerosol cans and sell you the entire lot
for around $40 or so.

Hello Reid & list,
I tried to buy the Carmine Red spray paint (for a 76 TR6) from TRF
but they no longer sell it due to the short shelf life and returned
product. I was told that the match for that color is Dupont #43019 in
acrylic enamel. Unfortunately, it doesn't come in a spray can and will
need a sprayer. A friend told me about a touch-up sprayer his brother
uses that is a refillable canister that looks similar to a regular spray
can but uses CO2 charges for the pressure. He claims it works quite
well. I don't know who has them, but intend on looking when I get to
that job this winter. Hope this helps some, and keep in mind that this
information comes from someone who may or may not be completely sane.
Cheers,
Kevin
