Need touch up paint Picking up a diecast TA & want to paint it the color of my old TA. Mine was a teal '99.
Anyone have a spray can of this paint they are willing to part with?

Call around to the local paint shops and see if they'll mix paint and put into spray cans. I don't have one locally but Memphis does. I know you're not around here but just giving an example that you might have to try a larger city. That's your BESTEST bet.

If its a decent sized spot, go to Home Depot and get a Preval sprayer. You can get your own paint mixed at a shop and get some thinner. works like a spray gun and costs like $5. look it up. I painted a pretty good sized area on the pass side of my car with it and it looks great.

O'Reilly has a little aerosol can set up that you can put mixed automotive paint or model paint in and spray. Usually the smallest quantity you can buy of auto paint is a quart. Add the price of hardener and with that kind of color, you'll likely look at $80 or more. The spray can should run around $20 and a can of clear at the parts store is what, $6? $7?
Hope you find what you're looking for.
