Default 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.

Default 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/
