I buy mine here. At $15.95 Canadian a can, that is under 12 bucks US for you per can. I doubt a paint shop would mix it that cheap, and put in a can for you, so why not just buy it done? His paint lays down nice, and is a nice match.
Prep is key, and you will never stop learning all the little prep tricks along the way!
A painter taught me another neat little trick the other day. He watched me mask a cowl, then put my roll of tape down on my work bench. He grabbed my magnifying glass, and showed me all the junk the edge of the tape picked up, which would have caused "bleeding" of colours when I sprayed the final coat. So now, I keep my tape in a plastic zip lock container, to keep the edges of tape clean from debris to give me a nice clean crisp paint line on two tone paint jobs.
