Default Current source for laquer paint? 1979 in 2020?

Hi, old body person here.. have mostly original paint but want to blend areas like lower doors fender and bumper and maybe entire hood from previous graphics etc..and want to avoid entire panel sealer to change paint chemistries over laquer
79 corvette red..figure i can wet sand and blend and buff as no clear and no metallic..
sponsor duplicolor only sells premade universal colors...thoughts?
Thanks!

My local paint shop, which uses PPG was able to get original lacquer colors. They came premixed straight from PPG. I was able to get a quart of international blue. Not cheap!

Well no lacquer available anymore custom matched.
so exploring single stage enamel for spot repair on urethane and entire hood.
tried one place but said only in base clear.
anyone experience source brand series system etc..single stage?

thanks

yes thank you you are correct..i did find them but the smallest i could buy was a quart and im not paying 200 dollars for one quart, no counting solvent etc..for a solid color.
reviews are all horrible too with no returns...and chancing color match..im in Indianapolis area if anyone gas suggestions
im ok switching to single stage acrylic enamel ( one place said thats old lead paint and only base clear available)but not thoight laquer easier to blend
