I need information of where can I get this paint mixed to get a close enough match to my original paint. I do not want touch up paint. Would like it to be Air sprayed not tin spray. I've been searching all I'm getting is touch up paint and tin spray.

This starfire Pearl is proving very difficult to match or I have been going to the wrong places.

Starfire Pearl IS difficult to match.

If you're car has had several years of weathering/uv exposure, it's not going to match from the factory formula. You'd need an expert paint mixer to see a panel, then adjust the basecoat and 2nd color layer to match it closely. If you're car is older than 5 years, there's no way it can be done without taking in the car (or a panel, like the gas cover) and having someone manually adjust it.

Automotivetouchuppaint.com has been my go to for all my paints, but even on SFP, it's going to be difficult if you're looking for 100%

Not looking for 100% but at least something close enough to it. I know it is not possible to get 100% match. But will click on your link to see who you suggested. Thanks Alot bro for your knowledge

www.automotivetouchup.com is where I bought mine as well.
I got it in spray cans and was not disappointed.

First you spray a base coat of white, wait for it to tack up and then spray a clearish pearl over that. Then clear coat on top.
I have an 09 and it matches well enough you cant tell.

Did they sell the 'pearl' layer? All I'm seeing is the white and the clear coat. From what I can tell the 'starfire pearl' base coat is what looks like White Out, then you add the sparkle on top of that... but I don't see that option...?

My guess is with a touch up bottle they probably premix in the pearl. I have only ever ordered spray cans. When you go with spray cans it is separate.
