Default Cheap paint

I have a set of eyelids that need to be painted. What is the best way to go about this? I can do the clear coat down stairs in my basement.(we have a sprayer) Is there any place I can get yellow paint in a can, that will resemble spa?

Go to the local auto paint supply place and have them make your paint for you. Luckily for me mine is right by my office and I have done enough business with them they just come outside with their scope and get the reading from a near by area and I get pretty much a perfect match every time.

How much do you think it will cost? Is there any name brand stores or only specialty?

I don't really know about real small quantity but 1 quart cost me $56 for my Truck last time. The place by me will do spray cans and such. Try This Google Search and call a couple of them.
