In my small town back in the 70’s, cement block stores only and pre-internet, we got everything at the local NAPA! Probably still a good start.

Many local automotive stores can fill custom paint cans in aerosol. I have a Bumper to Bumper store that does this. I have had them fill quite a few cans over the last few years.

What Steve said. Up here, it's a CarQuest paint store.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Paint could be a little tricky. Are you matching a factory color, how old is the paint on the truck, what type of paint, etc. I recently did a little paint work on my 2000 K3500, Victory Red. Rattle can from Dupli-Color was perfect. My '78 Vette is a limited 3 year color Vette only, auto paint distributor had a little trouble even with all of the correct color codes and an old can of PPG I had.
