TPC Global says they no longer can mix the trunk paint for 65 B bodies does anyone know of someone else or a good alternative other than spray bomb.

You are probably looking for a factory correct mixture. In which case this might not be helpful but when resto'ing my '65 Satellite I found an acceptable rattle can product at NAPA, or maybe it was Advance Autoparts.
There were a couple color choices.
I picked gray/black/white. It had a decent build-up and looks adequate.

in order for that stuff to be durable, doesn't it have to be cleared over ? or is the newer stuff better at durability ?

The rattle can crap is usually a mix of oil/and water base paint to stay separated and achieve the look and will need to be cleared.

Zolatone is specically designed and does not need a clear, they do have a catalyst that hardens it further and makes it more durable.

I would choose a similar/maybe not "correct" color and still use the Zolatone brand paint because it is so durable and looks much nicer than rattle can.

I agree I used it my 64 Dodge and has held up well and looks factory. I know Moshers uses it in their restorations. I will see if they have something close.

Not the stuff I used, but maybe depends on the result you want.

This is an automotive paint product by Dupli-Color, called Splatter Paint Speckle Finish, "Restores Trunk Finish". The color I used was DM100 Gray/White.
Directions say nothing about top coating it. It's been as durable I need it to be.

Here it is in the background of this "electrical" photo.
