Default Honda Spray touch up paint for older cars (EF)?

I see Duplicolor has a pretty good line of spray touch up paints, but they only seem to have stuff for cars that are from 1994 and on. They have Milano Red and a couple of other honda reds, but I'm looking fro Rio Red (R63). Does anyone know of any companies that sell this? I know you can get brush on touch up paint from Honda, but what about a small spray can.

I'll have to say that the spray nozzles on those Duplicolor "Import color" cans are pretty damn good. They have a very controllable fan nozzle and the coverage is great.

I found flint black (duplicolor) in a can. It matched my car pretty damn good, i did my hatch (it was faded) and you cannot tell other than the sand scraches showing through.

Lol, I have that exact can. I never thought to spray paint out of it. Thanks for the tip. Where would you recommend buying those supplies (paint, hardner, reducer)?

np. you can get the supplies at your local automotive paint dealer. ask for omni au if you're on a budget. omni is a manufactured by ppg. almost as good but way cheaper. plan on spending around $60 for the materials. don't forget to clean the can with paint thinner afterwards.

I have a nasty fender and Im looking for a new one to replace it. If it turns out to be another color, can I just buy a spray can from that website and look alright?
