Majestic Teal Metallic I can get the little touch-up bottle but I would like to get it in a spray can.
Does anyone know where to find?

Follow up: GREAT! That's the word. My rear bumper cover was in tough shape with all the Boston parking I do. Clear coat was missing on the top of the bumper at the trunk opening (about 8 sq inches) and about 2 sq inches of the previously underlying paint. Passenger side corner about ¼ x 2" down to the rubber and the same in the lower center. In my overzealous eagerness to get things done, I neglected to take "before" pics but I will post the "after" pics this weekend. I am not a body man by any stretch of the imagination but the instructions made it come out great. Sand Prep Cover 2 coats base-color 2 coats clear (actually 3 because I had to sand out runs on the first coat) Then wet-sand clear-coat with 2000 grit Included rubbing compound to buff In 30 days I can wax the area The color match is almost perfect albeit very slightly off due, most likely, to my technique. Metallics are tough according to the instructions but the tips sheet made me feel like I knew what I was doing. Now my Lady wants me to paint the front bumper on her Volvo.

It isn't close, I think it was Omegic or somebody has a medium mushroom that was the color I got. But I used the paint to paint my amp end caps and on top of a gray anodizing, looks pretty good.

OK - so here's the rear after pics <very satisfied with the outcome> Rear: Rear Profile: Not bad for a '97 with 192,000 miles. A couple of anomilies in my paint repair... Hardly noticable but on the right there is a clear-coat/base-coat line from taping off. On the left it worked out fine because i did not paint all the way to the tape and "faded" the new into the old. With this knowledge I may "spot" the hood in about 5 places(dime-sized). Next Projects - Front Bumper (before): Driver's door handle I replaced with one from a 95 (wrong color but with a little linkage modification it works great):
