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.

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

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

Just go to a paint store, they don't cost that must.
