You can pick it up at any auto part store that sells and mixes paint. Just need to know the color code, it's T-12 for Cygnus white i think. I got my cygnus white through NAPA.

....or any auto paint jobber. Look in your local yellow pages under 'automotive finishes' or the like. Few real autoparts stores (read no Adv Auto, Kragen, Autostoned, Oreily's, etc) will cary this so you may need to ask around or stop at any body shop and ask.
I've found some paint shops don't have codes for T-12 so also try 12 or 012. Also Toyota 031 and 033 are very very close to T-12 if you can't find a shop that can mix T-12 thay can usually mix those. You would not know the difference if its a full reshoot. If spot painting then go with T-12 or a color match.
I saw some T033 Duple-Color rattle can once @ Auto Zone, they also have the T408 Pewter spot on the original Pewter color IMHO witch I use now, I like It much better than the CCOT Silver.
I had half pint of T-12 mixed up @ the paint shop that still had the old PPG color charts in a two stage then shot with the clear...

Can someone post the formula for Cygnus White?
My local paint shops keep mixing up this weird yellowish-tan. They've shown me the formula and it's obviously wrong but it says Toyota Cygnus White T-12. Comes out almost as dark in value as Desert Tan!!!

try a small spot, allow it to dry and them compare. If considerable difference they may not be mixing it correctly or what you are comparing it to may be not be Cygnus white or it has aged badly.
Another data point - here is Omni (PPG brand) Cygnus White base+clear just painted with same emblems. This T-12 looks lighter than the backgrounds on the emblems.

Yeah, that's the color. So now I'm completely flummoxed. All I was after was some touch-up paint for a hard top. I thought Cygnus White was the color used for hard tops.
So what do I use?

Just for the record. Went to NAPA yesterday and they could not find any thing in there system for Toyota T12 ,012 , PPG833 Cyngus White etc.... Was sent to another store and they sent me to the PPG Platinum distributor. Bingo, they had the formula for 833 Cyngus White (oem code12,T012,T12).
