I have some pretty big touch up areas to refinish on my 2002 and was wondering if anyone sells it by the can? I think I would prefer to do some frame rails and battery tray repairs with a brush rather than spray and mask. That way I could leave as much original paint as possible. Anyone know of a source?
Malaga touch up paint by the Pint?

Found it here in various sizes…but does not appear to be brush friendly

Any decent automotive paint supply store should be able to mix you a quart or a pint of Glasurit or Spies Hecker paint that closely matches what you have on your car. As long as the area is not too visible you'll be ok with a touch up.

Malaga is very hard to match, I found this out personally. I had a PPG formula, old school paint guy mixed it up, too brown. I had a local shop scan it and he made rattle cans, close but not the same as a catalyzed mixture with a gun. If you can remove a piece with paint on it a good shop will do a custom color match.
I can't think of any part on a 2002 that is easy to take to a paint shop unfortunately.
Take the whole car, I had my Fjord paint matched very closely at a local restoration shop, they also painted my CSL airdam on my CSi.
