I also found a local auto paint supplier that had the BMC codes for almond green and was able to provide a special order spray can.  It also contains clear coat.  When you are ready to go you must release the clear coat which then combines with the paint.  Depending on the temp you have a certain number of hours to use it after which the can hardens.  I need to paint a few items which were not previously painted the body color.  Hope it all works out!

Good call, I'll try that as well. I'm still trying to notice the difference. Cool Vanilla may be a little creamy in bright sunlight, but since it was a small area on the front I just went for the Chrysler color and called it a day. I didn't think a paint shop out here would bother with me.

Good to know.
You can also order it from a local paint/body shop supplier in spray cans, you pick out the colour and they mix it up for you.
