Default Best place to purchase OEM paint?

I am looking for Electron Blue (B-95P) paint. Enough to paint a whole car. Where is the best place to find this?

an automotive paint store.
there's no special place you buy OEM paint...

pigment is pigment. paint is paint... just because its an OEM color/paintjob doesnt make it much more special then paints made by the top brands out there... so besides the different shades/variants.... blue is blue, black is black, white is white etc etc etc.... u have the code... thats all u need..

can you explain why? I agree, an automotive paint supplier would be good, but why not paintscratch.com?

Yeah if you're doing a whole car, you need to buy it by the quart or gallon. Local paint store is the way to go...they can help you get the right stuff for prep, mixing, etc. If you need more, it's just a drive away!
