There is a chainstore called Finishmaster that makes spray cans of oem colors. I've bought numerous cans for touch ups from them. It helps to soak the can in hot water for 10-15 min before you use them. Thats true for most spray cans

 

soak in water? how does this help? and thanks i'll check them out

 

If you get the paint warm it helps it atomize or something like that. SCC painted a wrx flat black with spray paint and they soaked all the cans in hot water. I've actually tried it, and it seems to work. Put the can in a plastic bag so the label doesn't get destroyed.

I should point out, you don't want to heat the can with a torch or anything that could cause it to explode. I just use a bucket and hot water.

 

if the can is warmer the contents are under higher pressure, which is good to help the spray cans spray more evenly
