OEM touch up paint online?

Anybody knows where can I find OEM touch up paint online? I tried my local dealer, but he said it should be backordered (color 4M9). I placed the order 1 mo ago and still have nothing...

You could order through paintscratch.com -- I've used them in the past when I wanted some custom spray cans for small area work. They'll do the little bottles, too. Or, you could just call around to the auto paint stores in town -- they may not want to do a little order like that, but it's worth a try. Matching a manufacturer color code is easy (although if the paint's faded, the original color might not match what's on the car so well).

That is the problem: I have a spray from one of the automotive shop, but it doesn't match the color. Maybe because color faded, maybe it just doesn't match from very beginning. That is why I want OEM touch up.

Paints from places like autozone and walmart don't really match to begin with.

I had a good experience with Paintworld. I ordered some touch up paint for my 65 Mustang after I got painted, and it was a perfect match. My order arrived in about a week. Here's a link to their site.

https://www.paintworldinc.com/default.aspx

12.5oz spray can = $23.95
0.5oz touch-up pen = $11.95

Kinda pricey , but if you want an exact match to your paint code, paintworld is good place to look. According to their site, your car is cashmere beige metallic(4M9)

I had tried 2 brands.
One is Dupli-Color (bought from Kragen);
The other is http://www.automotivetouchup.com
My color is super white (color code: 040).
Unfortunately, both these 2 paints are not white enough to match my color.

Color 4M9 is Cashmere Beige, right?
I guess this color would be much more difficult to match.
Good luck.

in past i couldn't find duplicolor for my car (1C4 color, silver opal metallic). it came up Duplicolor doesn't even make it.

I ordered a spray can of 1C4 and a can of clear coat from:
http://www.automotivetouchup.com

it matches good enough (consider original paint fading, so it's never perfect) ...
