my car has custom paint that is still in very good shape, but suffers from multiple dings, etc. I have no information at all regarding the paint code (non factory as stated).

Will paint shops match paint for you and sell small quantities?

thx in adance

dude thats what body shops do anyway....they guesstimate the color then color match it to work....they mgiht even sell you the paint they mix

Many auto paint stores have computer-based matching equipment that scan a sample of the paint and them provide a mixing formula to match. You need to bring in a sample (in my case I brought in a headlight bucket). As far as "small quantities" goes, they're limited by how small a quantity of the least ingredient in the paint mix and how small that bit can be and still make an accurate mix. I'd say you might be lucky to get a half-quart, more likely a full quart would be the minimum. My one experience with this service netted a "perfect" match; at least to my eyes.
