Default Fixin a dent...Painted :D

Hey all, I'm trying to find the paint color code PR4 (poppy red). Just today I was at autozone and I was looking at their selection. They don't have PR4, so I tried to find the best substitute, so I grabbed their PR4 scratch fix tube and I found a spray paint color named "Aztec Red," and I compared the colors on the cap and label. Now I'm 17 and for some reason they don't let people under the age of 18 buy spray paint here. So I couldn't spray under the hood or anything. Has anyone ever had PR4 and tried to substitute here? If not, where can I get the correct paint can?

here, all I do is take the paint code into a parts store like NAPA and they mix you up a special batch of paint. it's expensive, but it matches.
