www.paintscratch.com You can order it. Or you can get it from the dealership. Or you can go to any body shop and give them your paint code and they'll mix you as much or as little as you want.

paint scratch.com was a pain to deal with when i ordered from them 2 years ago. i ended up having to do a credit card chargeback on them to get a refund because they didn't want to send me the paint that matched. i think i ended up getting the paint from another site http://www.touchuppaintonline.com/ and the color was good this time.

I would check the dealership first, they usually always have it for cheaper and they always match.

Dealerships just use rebranded duplicolor paint. It is actually usually more expensive to get it from them than to just go to AutoZone and get it. On a 2005 it shouldn't be too tricky to get an exact match to what your paint looks like now, so there really isn't any reason to go anywhere other than to your local auto part store and start looking for your paint code. It will be there for sure.

They just mix it like any body shop will mix it. They take the paint code and mix the quantity that you need. The projects I've used them for have always been a perfect match. Back when I used to airbrush and wanted the perfect colors, it was always more cost effective to go through them than to have to buy a larger quantity from a body shop and then never use the color again. Everybody is going to have a different experience I guess, but I've used them several times in the last several years and have referred dozens of people to them who have bought paint. Everybody seems to have had a positive experience in that circle, so that is why I recommend them.
