Rattle can matching paint
 
My '94 S-10 Blazer has a factory paint code of WA 9095, dark metallic blue. I have searched local shops and online, no help. Online paint 12 oz costs $20-$25 p/can. That is way to pricey for me as I would need at least 4 cans. I like Duplicolor 8 oz rattle cans, but cannot find them anywhere. So, I'm turning to the experts here to steer me to sources of $7-10 cans. Thank you, all.

Looks like the cheapest you are going to pay is through automotivetouchup.com
If I were you, I would find someone that has a spray gun for cars, and get the pint, you will have much better results.
But for spray cans, finding it for 7-10 a can is not going to happen for your year truck..

I have the same issue. Was looking to paint some accent pieces body color and my paint code is not carried by dupli-color ect. Ended up having to get a pint mixed at my local auto paint supplier.

You can get it soooo much cheaper from automotivetouchup.com Just enter, year, make, model and you get it delivered to your door.

Rattle Can Matching Color Codes
 
For my 1982 Toyota Pickup I am using Eastwoods Rust Converter for a base to neutralize the rust, then going to spray an SEM High Build primer, then will wet sand with 800 grit. Finally I will use Spray Max 2k color match single stage paint. The primer and single stage cost me just over $200 with shipping for 5 cans of each. The Eastwood rust converter was $18 per can. The great thing about all of these is they are rattle cans. It saves you about $600 without having to buy an air compressor and HLVP sprayers. I have not yet painted yet, but you can follow along here: http://www.seanmcclure.com/blog/inde...my-sons-truck/
