I bought touch-up paint from this outfit 3 years ago for my 1989 GMC pickup truck. The color match was very close.

After checking out your link $$$!!!, Mr Smith would be better off asking local parts stores. Not chain stores but locally owned. A hood would take quite a bit, not something you would try with aerosol cans.

I went to Automotive Touch Up as Paul R suggested. I used it on our 2015 Camry on the bumper and trunk and also on our 2004 Sienna for the front bumper. I am very pleased. I am picky when it comes to paint matching. Its a two step process; paint plus clear coat, then there is the buffing to blend in if need be and to shine things up nicely. I did have a problem with one of the cans but they replaced it. They had it on its way the same day. very good customer service.
I tried some water based paint once and it was a major mistake. Be patient and do a good job of prepping. Good luck and do some you tube research.

You can do a hood. Sienna hoods aren't that big. Probably 3x base color can, 3x clear 2k gloss.
I've done bumper repair, tundra color matched door handles etc.
Prep it correctly and paint will go in good. Cut and buff it if it's imperfect it will look pro.
Here's an example I did on my tundra door handles. There's were actually chrome.

Properly applied, high quality spray paint in aerosol cans will do a good enough job. The alternative would be buying bulk paint, a several hundred dollar paint gun, and an oil-free compressor or appropriate oil filters for an oil lubricated compressor. That or going to a body shop to have them paint it for you. All auto paint is sprayed, the results from trying to brush it on would be unpleasant, to say the least.
Also, the first link, while more expensive than the second link, doesn't seem insane to me. Yeah, it's not $5/can Rust-Oleum, but it's much higher quality paint, plus for the pearl you need two basecoats plus the clearcoat. Most automotive paints besides pearl are single coat plus clearcoat, but pearl requires an extra coat. That's one of the reasons why if building a custom order new vehicle, pearl paint is something like a $1500-2500 upcharge over the other colors (I've priced out a couple of custom vehicles, and pearl paint is always an upcharge over the normal colors, because it needs an extra coat other paint colors don't).
