You can't (I was going to mention that anyway) since they are made for a very specific application system. The after market paints are actually better anyway since they are exempt for the VOC environmental requirements that the OEM are covered by.
They can also be colour matched better than the OEM paint could (I know that sounds counter intuitive) since they can be adjusted for age and wear. White is just the hardest to match because there is really no pigments to hid any differences.
