Any local paint supply store should be able to mix it up for you and put it in a spray can.

Please post how it turns out.  I bought some from Totally Auto and it was crap, wouldn't spray for more than 2 sec without getting clogged.

Did some research and it seemed they generally have poor reviews.

I had a can of JA5 dark silver metallic mixed up at an automotive paint supply store near me.  It's PPG paint and I think it ran me $25 for the can.  The color is a perfect match but the metallic is slightly heavier.  The can sprays just fine.

Used local paint store as recommended earlier in thread and worked great, $18 for a can, perfect match. This forum is awesome!

Be careful...the paint doesn't have a hardener in it.  It will scratch very easy.  I think it would be a good idea to ask the paint store if there is a compatable clear coat that you can spray over it.  :2cents:
