Need matching rattle-can paint for my plane

I am looking for some spray cans of lacquer for some touch-up on my plane.

Specifically, I am looking for:

Tempo Aviation Aircraft Lacquer, A808, Dull Aluminum.

This paint is an exact match for paint on my aircraft.

I would be grateful for any information that would help me locate a source. If you have some old cans on the shelf, I am interested.

Or reply here, or PM.
 
I had a rattle can made up from TouchUp Direct based on the (automotive) paint code the original builder used on my airplane. Matched perfectly. There are at least a few other such places.
 
A lot of local paint stores have the system to put it into a can.
If you have the paint on hand, just get on the phone and call them up.
But, your luck may vary Fixit
 
Lacquer can come in any flavour from full gloss to full matt - just depends on how much flatting agent is put in.
 
Thanks to all for the suggestions. Several web sites have this paint listed, but their old listings don't work.

One company told me that they had back orders for Tempo for over one year, with no response.

I managed to squeeze enough paint out of what I had to just barely finish my project, but I will try to get some custom paint made as suggested.

Thanks everyone!
