Where to buy paint

I am thinking about repainting parts of my 4runner. The runner is anthracite metallic. Anyone know where I can buy this paint?

Thanks,
Jeff

I know NAPA can mix up any color, and so far I have found to be the least expensive.

You can also go to a body shop, get a small amount mixed professionally, and bring it to NAPA to copy exactly.

I have not yet painted my truck with the paint, but, I am planning on repainting my FJ40 this way.

Get the paint code and go to a MATTOS paint and body supply they can mix it exact not sure if you got any in VA. but there is one in Waldorf Md. we use and they are excellent at matching paint from code or chips if that's all you have from your truck they can even tell you the primer used so you get a perfect match to the rest of the truck.

I have my 4runner listed for sale and feel that a fresh coat of paint on the oxidized roof and hood would really help out. So I would need more than a touch up paint.

I am going to check local shops and find out what kind of prices I can get.

Thanks for the help
