I have searched high and low on these forums and the internet for cans of this paint to touch up my bumper and body work. Would anyone happen to know where to buy any if they still make it? Can't even find a dupicolor match for it.

Or anything that comes close to matching? thanks

You would have to go to your local auto paint supply store and they should be able to mix it for you. You will have to tell them color code. They even can put it in rattle can for you.

Last I had checked with I had my Mx is that you couldn't get them through Mazda anymore.

Well I was going through my tool box yesterday, and I of happened to of found this:

Wonder if this is like the last bottle of it in existance :lol:

The scary part is that it might still be good! The paint had seperate from the oil and sunk to the bottom, but it did mix up no problem. I didn't open it yet, and honestly, I don't know if it's ever been...My first bottle did end up getting used up, and I think I preemptively bought another one, but I don't know if I had ever used it, which may explain why it might still be good. My Mx-3 was repained to a custom mix back in 2006, so this bottle is older than that.

As for the custom spray can, there's a local place that does it here, I got one for the truck back during my Xmas leave and just used it again yesterday to do a preemptive fix on the truck where there's a goodsize rust spot that started under the top windshield moulding but hasn't gotten under the windshield yet, just noticed it in spring, so fixing that how before it gets serious. Not cheap thoat $30/can, but there seems to be quite a bit in there.
