Default Color match pain is high!

Just walked into my local NCS with vin# and paint code from jeep. Neither showed up in their system :( but it popped up with an Appalachian green..it looks close to my dark natural green, if not exact. But i got it in rattle can form since my compressor isn't really up for running a paint gun. 25 bucks a can and 8 for a clear coat topper..anyone know of other places that sell it cheaper? Im gonna paint regardless but just didn't think it'd be so high

Quadratec X2 and the steel blue is an exact match. I was a happy camper.

I just took my fenders in for paint and there something like 8 shades of flame red for 2008 jeeps. I wish you the best of luck getting a good match.
