where to buy factory color matched paint?

i'm looking into re-painting my tj after replacing fenders, hood, windshield frame, and now hard doors. Where can i buy paint to do it myself. I really like the amber fire pearl coat that it came with.

you should be able to get it from Autozone, the dealership or Checkers, but those are little rattle cans. to do that bigger stuff you'll need to setup a paint booth at home, have a big compressor and a paint gun and probably have to order the paint matched to factory color.

google - there are lots of companies that will custom mix rattle cans for about $20 each. most local automotive paint suppliers can mix paint for you. rattle cans or quarts.

Yellow pages, automotive paint suppliers.
Do do it right you're gonna need basecoat and clearcoat and all the stuff.
Rattle cans will never come even remotely close to a decent match for Amber fire.

Especially a metallic-heavy pearl color like Amber Fire.
(That was the number one color on my want list when I was looking for a TJ)

at least.
You can save a lot by doing much of the labor of stripping Everything...
Changing color is tough.
