Looking for a place/auto body shop to mix OEM paint in a can

[ROBOCOP]

Like title states, I need to find a place that will sell me a spray can of OEM color coded paint for BMW. I really need it to match so can anyone recommend me a good place to go to for that. Obviously Canadian Tire doesn't carry the paint code I need so it needs to be custom made. I was thinking perhaps a body shop could do that or carry some? And if you remember the price please also let me know. Thanks.

Ask for Ahmed, knows his shit

Oh and for a regular size bottle (did a whole bumper for me) was $21. and matched it perfect

Go to Sam's paint supplies on Manhattan Road. They are like $15 to $20 a can if I remember correctly.

I would say otherwise, they couldn't mix me the right color if their lives depended on it AND proceeded to blame it on the painter.....TWICE. I prefer Advance Autobody Supplies. OP, this has been brought up before. next time try searching

Asked for a quart of paint, they put it in a spray can instead of a container like I asked so i could mix it in my spray gun. They proceeded to charge a portion for the spray can version too even though I refused it. I called them on it but they said, it was special paint that was expensive.
I know they hosed me so I refuse to take my business there.

Advance is good peoples, they are humans and do make mistakes too, but they do own up to it. Once they gave me the wrong shade in a spray can so I went back. They acknowledged their error, apologized for the mistake and mixed the correct paint for me, free of charge.

Ok so I did another search and found Advanced was recommended there also. I did search before I made this thread but didn't find much. Looks like the majority recommends Advanced and its also in the north so I will stop by soon, thanks guys.
