Try your local automotive paint store. In my Town, NAPA is the go to place.

YOu can order on-line to at PaintScratch Touch-Up Paint (rs), Spray Cans, Spray Paint, Paint Pens, Car Paint, Automotive Paint I've had very good luck with these guys on many occasions. They'll also have the paint codes you need. Just go to the 370 listing.

No...If you're referring to the "Self Healing" paint on the G37, the Z does NOT have this. Not here anyway. It may be different in the UK though.
(sorry....Missed your UK location earlier)

Let your bodyshop source the paint (that's what they do). That way, if there is a mismatch it's on them, not you.

It does hAve a special 'hard clearcoat' though. At least that's what the sticker inside my hood says

Trust your bodyshop (assuming they're good)....Mine's been repainted from the doors forward with standard color and clearcoat and is better than OEM....

Beautiful. Looks nicer than new.

Your Car
 
I don't know if its your driveway slanting downward but your car looks a little lower in the front which is what I like, most of the new Zs look just a tad higher in the front than rear. Are those brake cooling ducts, I'm considering some small DRLs or amber fog/driver lights. I may paint the fangs black later on.

can never get my questions answered lol

Stock height. 15mm spacers front and rear. The vents feed my custom airboxes..
