I was able to get 2 spray cans from NAPA. You'll need to take a sample color to the outlet. They have chips for matching. Not all NAPA's provide the service. You'll need to call around. They were $11.50 per can.

Finish Master; (a body shop supply business) can also supply paint to match; in cans or spray cans.

Recently we overhauled a '54 Ford V8 engine., a one year only type. The owner wanted the engine painted in authentic colors. The block was a kind of ivory, and the valve covers were a shade of red. We were able to obtain them from the Eastwood company. Finding paint for vintage vehicles is difficult. They were painted with various products such as lacquer, that is extinct now. Your best bet is to find a really good body shop and have the paint scanned with an instrument they use. Inquire as to whether they can mix it, or where you might find it. Time and exposure usually fades paint, so it requires a professional to give the necessary advice,

I used Finish Masters. It's been awhile, but I think I gave them the Ford paint code for Rustic Brown and they put together a couple cans of spray paint. The color matches very well. gregg

I've just used Mahopec in New York. My 1935 coupe is Cordoba Grey. I asked for a spray can's worth. The car has never been repainted. The color is a perfect match. Perfect. https://www.facebook.com/mahopacautopaint mahoupecautopaint.com
