Where can i find matching paint in spray form?

I already have a bottle of brush on touch-up paint from the Honda dealer, which looks nice, but i also have some larger areas on my car that i need to spray. I have a frost white 1995 Si (i think color code NH-538 or something) and i tried getting the "matching" paint in a spray can from Autozone, but it really doesnt match well. Where can i find spray paint that matches well? Thanks for suggestions.

a nice auto paint store, can make a can of you're exact paint. sometimes by code (prefered). or they have a machine that scans your paint, and the custom make it from that. usually 12-16 bucks a can.

hehe... mine got scanned as 1988 ford mustang lx white. scary eh.

I had a can of paint made for my civic. I took the fuel door off and they matched it up almost perfect. Costed me $17.00

Thanks for the info. What would you consider as a good auto paint store? I don't really think there is one where i live. What about someplace like Lowe's or Farm and Fleet, i think they scan paint (not auto specific), but would it work the same?

Where state are you in? WI, IA, or IL. I may be able to send you in the right direction. Lowes or F&F wont have anything like that

Thanks for all the replies. Why am I so stupid to not look in the phone book yellow pages? I don't know but that's a good idea.
