I contacted Tower Paints in Wisconsin. They have all the Rootes paints and
will sell you a spray can of whatever color you want for $12 simply by
calling them (800) 779-6520, and giving them the Rootes paint code. I just
did this for Color 106 - Commodore Blue. I received the can in about a
week, and sprayed a card. It kind of felt like Indiana Jones discovering
some long lost manuscript - just too easy.

I compared it to Joe Smith's Hobbes and it was a very close match.

They will supply the paint in whatever type of paint you want and in
whatever quantities you want.
