Touch up paint - viking blue

I have a daily driver (71 cutlass) and need to repair a small rust spot. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a spray can of touch up paint that will match Viking Blue?

Go to a body shop supplier. Here you can go in give them the paint code (or not) and they can find the right match (not accounting for decades of fade). This paint can be mixed with or without clear. I got a spray can when I owned my Corcette and the paint match was exact. On my other daily driver, I bought a brush on container. I'm sure anyone who sells paint can match the colour for you. Good luck.

I just got finished spraying a mirror for my car with a can of their primer. I got it along with some base and some clear all in aerosol cans (This is only my 3rd or 4th paint job ever, and my first in over 20 years)

I got my mirror painted by some place really nice, too bad it was the wrong color lol. So I sanded their clear with some 320 and gave it 3 coats of primer. I would have painted it but I didn't have any 600 to wet sand the final coat of primer with. In all my research it seems like the #1 enemy of good paint jobs were bad surface prep so I made surre to use the primer, base coat, and clear all from the same place and also made sure to follow all the surface prep information from the manufacturer (Right on the cans)

I got all my stuff from automotivetouchuppaint.com IIRC
