Any ideas where one can buy touch-up paint from for a 78. I tried Toyota and Sherman Williams automotive. Trying to find 653 olive green, just to touch up a few nicks. Thanks
 
Try cruisercorps.com for rattlecan... they have some colors.

I’ve also had rattlecans mixed by automotive touch up.com.

I have 416, Dune Beige... they didn’t have it... I called and they looked up the formula and custom mixed it... they also carry the clearcoat.

Their email (below) has phone#.

“Your Order was placed with AutomotiveTouchup.com. Thank you very much for your order!
We typically take 5-7 business days to process, formulate, manufacture, and ship out your order during peak times. This is because your paint is CUSTOM-MIXED for you and your vehicle. Selecting a faster shipping method does not guarantee a quicker manufacturing process.

While not cheap (relative to Rustoleum at Ace), I got a can from automotivetouchup.com in October ... they were pretty quick on turn-around. I have same year/color ... their lookup tool actually didn't show it for correct year (1978), so I made sure to tell them the code. Here's how it ended up on order:

Item No.: AER-BC
Description: 12 oz Aerosol Spray Paint, 1975 Toyota All Models, Manually Entered Code: 653-Olive Green Met-BS
Quantity: 1
Item Price: $19.95
Item Total: $19.95
 
I can't comment on Olive Green or Dune Beige but do NOT order from AutomotiveTouchup.com if you want Sky Blue. See post HERE for comparison. Also - contrary to what their website claims - the company does not guarantee a match and will do nothing to correct or refund. You are gambling on what they mix will match. Find a local option that can match to your truck. Lots of good places to find the original color.
