hit up your local hobby shop. aerosol model paint is about the size of a coke can.

Parts stores sell this stuff called Perfect Match by Duplicolor, I think it's an 8 oz aerosol. about the same size as a coke can with the cap on.

I've seen smaller size cans that are the same shape as the hardner can on the right. I don't know where you'd find them, but they're used for paint products, thinners and such.

Pretty sure that hardner is a quart.

They sell empty pint, 1/2 pint and 1/4 pint cans. one of those should be close to a coke can

Most urethane base colors mix 1:1 or some may be 2:1 depending on your brand,
you can normally buy them by the .oz like 8.oz or more... any place that mixes automotive paint can sell u as much or little as needed....
I've bought as little as 4.oz before just enough to blend a panel into another and re-clear when doing wreck work.....
I've had good luck with dupont chroma base, and valspars z-base, the chroma mixes 1:1 and the Z is 2:1 but most any urethane based base color will serve you well

I buy different sized paint cans all the time from our supplier. from gallon to 1/4 pint depending on my needs at work.
Just go to a paint store, they don't cost that must.
