Paint store suggestion

Hello,
I need a paint store that can make me a touch up bottle and a small spray can to match my paint. Someone posted the name of a store in Tacoma, WA that does this sort of thing, but I could not find it when I did a search. Can anyone tell me the name of the store? If not, can someone recommend another store that does this? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I would try to find a supplier closer to you as shipping would be expensive.
If all else fails this place does it.

Kevin,
I used OReily Auto Parts to mix a spray can for me based off of a car scan. Another option for touch up paint is a local body shop. they mixed up some base-clear for me in pint cans and put everything I would need in a box...base, clear, activator, reducer, filters, masks, everything I needed along with hands on instruction.

If you can't find a store in town that actually puts the mixed paint in a spray can, you can use a "preval" sprayer. Is "auto paint" still open in downtown Olympia? They were around that area where the Fishtail brewery is. At least they were 35 years ago when I was in HS ��.
 
Pretty sure NAPA mixes paint

There is a store on Auburn way North (in Auburn) that specializes in car parts, paint, etc called Wesco (2701 Auburn way North)
I have bought paint from them that they matched to my wife's VW from a sample and it matched very well
There could be other branches but that is the one that I used
