Hi,
I'm touching up a 90 240 sedan in polar white at the moment. I haven't found anything off the shelf that matches very well.
A local auto parts store that sells paint mixes the 189 in a rattle can for $22 and it matches perfectly on parts not exposed to the sun. It's a hair darker otherwise, but noticeable only if you look hard.
It's single stage acrylic enamel, and if you're shopping for it I'd recommend asking for a SEM can which has the best spray nozzle.
I usually apply 3 coats 10 minutes apart. I've found that by using a cheaper generic white enamel for the first 2 coats and the mixed paint only for the final coat, I get the same results with 3 times the coverage.
Another option is to apply the first 2 coats and then let them dry 48 hours. Then sand with 600 and top coat with the 189.
regards, Peter
