Where to buy paint for my ‘75 Eldorado restoration?

I’ve completed all the bodywork on my 1975 Cadillac Eldorado convertible and it’s almost ready for paint.  I’m painting the car myself as I did this 35 years ago.  Times have changed and all the jobbers are gone. I was a DuPont guy which is now Axalta/Cromax but looking for any suggestions on where I can get paint.  The code is 77 Roxena Red.  Thanks in advance for any advice.

No idea where you are, but around here, a few of the local parts houses are paint suppliers for the local paint and body shops.  O'Reilly's has a few stores with mixing capabilities.  There's one near my house, in fact.  They mixed the red and charcoal gray for our SVO and the gold for the air cleaner on our Calais.

I buy my paint from my local Finishmaster location. They carry just about everything that I need.
