    I found spray aerosol cans with matching code online but I wanna know where to find liquid paint for spray gun.
    I bought a visor and I wanna paint it with the matching color of the truck.
    Any advice and info much appreciated.

    Take your vin number to your truck manufacturer dealer he will get all your information. The vin number is like a library for your truck

    Any decent auto parts store that sells automotive paint has a device they can put over your current paint on the truck and come up with a match. Relatively close anyway if you can't get factory paint codes

    I would guess that it might not be the truck’s original factory paint.

    Don't piss around with a dealer.. the paint will be higher if they even get it ...
    And unless this is a brand new or you know the complete history of the truck the paint won't match
    Just find a Paint store that sells auto paint and supplies .. NOT NAPA a true auto body shop supply store.. they can match it..

    Share you truck info, chassis number? Any OEM truck dealer should be able to provide you with a factory paint code. Though they will not “stock” the paint. It will be mix to your order from any paint supplier. PPG, DuPont, etc……All auto paint stores can look up and mix your code for the factory color.

    Code is imron glacial white. Any auto paint store can do imron or convert it to an enamel

    If you are looking online you may come up empty due to shipping regulations. You will likely have to source locally for mixing to order for color match automotive paint. Most collision shops will be able to mix your color on site for what you desire.
