So if I have an FS number for a color that I want, is it possible for a generic auto paint place, like one that sells PPG, to mix if for me off that number?

Most likely not Bob. I tried that and they use a different system. What I did was buy the color in Model Master paints and spray a piece of 3x3 styrene with it and then take it to them. They then use their little device to scan the color and generate a color code for their system. Works well, just make sure you use a shiny finish, flat wont work. The device they use needs a reflective surface.
