Not all locations do. We have 3 or 4 stores in town and only one does the paint, so you have to call first and ask. Or else the other locations will send you to the one with the paint shop.
O'Reilly's does this too locally the same way. Don't know if you have them or not.
I'm on my second can of matched rattle can that I use for touch up. It's very very handy.
They cleaned about a 1 foot square spot of my paint with McGuires cleaner wax, calibrated their fancy scanner gun, put it up to the paint and then took the gun into the store to download the data to the computer. The computer told them it was and exact match for Spectramaster Blue in my case...but even if it was a custom, no-name color mix, the computer tells them what base and tint combinations to use to get a match.
It's really kind of cool!
