Go to a local autbody paint shop, paint code for Montego blue. If you can't find paint code in car, most shops will have a master code book.

If a body shop won't sell it to you, ask them where they get their supply. I'll bet it's a local supplier.

Any paint supply should be able to mix it on site. You give them the code and they mix it up.

I know you're looking where to buy but here's a nice future reference/info I found of the FD color codes:

25G = Titanium Grey Metallic
PZ = Brilliant Black
J9 = Competition Yellow Mica
PT = Chaste White
M8 = Montego Blue
3L = Silverstone Metallic
NU = Vintage Red
