You should go to a paint store. You will need to find one that sells automotive paint. Are you planning on doing the painting yourself? If so I just want to tell you that it is alot harder than it sounds. If you don't have any painting experience I would contact an auto body shop to do the painting for you and most shops will even have the paint mixed for you. Remember also that your paint job will only be as good as the body work that was done on it. If you want your machine to be flawless don't cut any corners. It is worth paying the money to get a quality job.
