Default Where to buy paint that matches color code?

I have some minor rust spots to fix, but I'm not sure where to purchase the exact paint by the code (NH592P). I don't want to go to an autobody shop and get it done because I'm on a tight budget. I'm probably going to check out a few automotive stores around my city, but I need some suggestions. Thanks

Just google something like "automotive paint supply" There's a couple of places around where I live that sell only auto paint, one of them even gives a discount to college students, since the local university has an auto body repair dept.

You will never be able to purchase paint that matches perfectly(without lots of trial and error), keep that in mind.

Ben's paint supply can mix paint for you and if you have any questions they will answer them for you.PPG Deltron base coat matches very well and covers awesome,But some colors are a bit pricy.However i know you have a the paint code but there are different variations of paint in the same paint code.
For ex:if you enter the paint code into the computer it will pull up 4 or 5 different types of paint mixing ratios,one ratio will take 6 more grams of blue and 2 grams less of white.If you call them they will help you out and tell you what you will need to do the repair.
