Standard VR4 paint colours

[Steve_1]

Evening all

I am currently on the lookout for some touch-up paint for my S2 Galant.
The car is silver in colour which I understand is known as Hamilton silver? Anyway I know it's easy enough to check the paint code by sticking my head under the bonnet. However firstly i'm wondering what others here did to obtain touch-up paint, as it appears it's not available off the shelf.
So is it a job of getting paint mixed especially or can I still find it off the shelf someplace?

Thanks guys!

Mistubishi should have some, ring them up and order it in.
Think mine was like 12 bucks.

Thanks for the help guys!

On a slightly related topic, i've noticed the paintwork condition on the bonnet to be a tad patchy.
Overall the silver paintwork is in excellent condition, feels glossy to the touch & the water beads, bonnet included. However the colour underneath the glossy top coat looks as if it's faded to certain patches on the bonnet only, and i have a suspiction that the engine's heat is causing the paint to fade from underneath, despite the heat shielding on the underside of the panel.
Thoughts?
