All dealers should carry it....unless the shelf life of these things are short and thus must be special ordered.

What about those AutoVisuals pens? A number of members have had good luck with those. Do you need the OEM one for some reason? Also, if you get bodywork done, you can always ask the shop to spare you a little in a small bottle.

I think you should be able to call the parts department, order one and put it on a credit card and either they ship it or you can pick it up. Probably they don't stock it since color is discontinued. But ordering should only take a couple days or so.
