factory colors in spray cans?

Have any of you guys had luck finding factory correct colors in spray cans for our era trucks? The Duplicolor reference books at my local parts places don't go back to 1965. Im currently looking for 507 light blue.
I've seen this place online: https://www.PaintScratch.com/cgi-bin/order-form-1a.cgi, but at $26 a can, I was wondering if there are alternatives.

I think mine was 26-28 for 503 green in a spray can that matched really good.

Called a local Napa today and the guy said he can mix the paint and put it in an aerosol can, but he is prohibited from adding drier to the mix (CA). This makes it useless, as the paint will stay gooey forever. No prob though mixing a pint or quart with drier for me to spray from a gun. This however eliminates the convenience of a spray can for small jobs.

Not quite as convenient as a spray can but....the little gravity feed detail gun from harbor frieght is cheap and it works beautifully. Ive painted all kinds of stuff with mine. I think it was about 15 bucks. In fact I wore the first one out and got another because I missed it so much.

Yep, looks like that's the direction I'm headed.
