Rattle Can Touch-up Paint? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

About 20 or so years ago, I went to a paint shop for some touch up paint.

Guy came out with some kind of handheld device, put it to my truck finish and then made up some paint that he than put into areosol cans.

The match was excellent.

The can says DAR 2188 Medium Blue on the label.

That shop may have also compensated for any paint fading, which may also explain why the match was so close.

That shop has long since been closed and I'm running out of paint.

I believe that paint color is/was a factory option, but I can't seem to find anything close on-line.

Someone suggested that a body/paint shop might be able to help.

Do you have any suggestions that might point me in the right direction?
