Default spray touch up paint in rio yellow

Wondering if anyone has an online source for rio yellow in a spray can? I'd like to paint the xmsr antenna pod before installation.

Thanks
Chris

This may or may not apply to where you live.
Here, we have several shops who supply paint and equipment to autobody and paint shops. I can go to one of these shops with the Honda paint code and they can easily mix up the paint and put it in an aerosol can for me. It also helps to have your car there so they can do a final paint match before putting it into a can for you. The cost here is under $20.00 Can for one can. If you want a perfect match, also buy a spray can of the correct formulation of clear coat for your paint code.
Try looking in your Yellow Pages under "Autobody Supply" and let your fingers do the walking.

HI Guys,
Remembered a fellow quoting a source from back in my elise owning days.
This company will custom mix whatever code paint in spray can for you, think about $20.

I'd earlier asked local auto paint shops if they could do this and was met with silence on the phone, unfortunately my area doesn't seem to have a really switched on shop.

Here's the link:

That sounds like what you need, however, not sure if they'll send a pressurized can via airmail. Best to find a shop like this as close to you as possible and just go get it yourself.

xviper,
They can send by surface UPS which is OK. Unfortunately the auto paint shops here in my town are clueless.
