I recently went to our local automotive paint store (Jones Paint and Glass in Utah) who mixed me up some "matching" paint. It's not exact, but it laid down really nicely on my steel wheels. All I did was give them the paint code from my fender tag.

I have heard that some places can custom mix and then give you spray paint.....
The Ditzler code for Desert Turquoise is 42687 or 2221

Most any quality automotive paint supply house will have the capabilities of taking a reading with a color meter and working up a formula or finding an existing that is a good match. On occasion they still need to manually adjust the formula to obtain the right match. This takes a guy with some experience.
Once it's mixed they can put in spray cans for you. The cans are purchased already charged and they just add the paint. Pretty simple operation.
In the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area it costs $95-125 for color match and mix of a pint of paint, and around $8.50-10.00 per can to put in spray cans.
We get into this with regularity where we've powder coated something that's going to be installed somewhere else in the country and the customer requests touch up paint to fix boo boo's that happen during installation.

I just bought several spray cans and a touch up bottle of Go-Mango from
www.paintscratch.com. Good service, and the color matched up very well.
Good luck

Tower Paint is Wisconsin does factory and custom paint matches in 16oz spray cans, mailorder is their specialty....they matched some Sublime and Panther Pink for me, right on the money as far as color match, nice quality paint too, and under $20 a can with shipping
