I spoke with a gentleman who told me that I needed to get paint from Sherwin
Williams, then he would add some kind of compound to it to make it into touch
up paint. I guess it must be some kind of preservative to keep the paint from
hardening over time. Does that sound familiar to anyone, or is it a gimmick?

Phil,
Any good automotive paint shop should be able to match your paint pretty
closely
with a colorimeter. I had my "Colorado Red" match perfectly to GM "Peking Red"
(what a coincidence ;).
They will likely have a minimum--probably 1pt--which could set you back $40-50
with catalyst, but IMO it's worth it for a good match (you can always use it to
touch up frame bare spots). They might be able to do an aerosol as well.
