Dupli-color Exact Match Colors for my LS 400?
So I'm planning to spray over the scratches and knicks on my LS 400
I'm looking to get Dupli Color Auto Paints from Amazon,
So far I have black for the top half and I need gray for the bottom half
and I need to get gray. Which ones are a match for this gray (there's like 3 different hints of gray from Duplicolor)?
Attached is a photo of the color scheme for my car

The only time a non hardener paint is okay is if its little small size nicks here and there. I would not paint a large area with an air dry paint. It may look good for awhile but it won't last long.

If you want to use spray cans it has to work like the example here. You will need to hunt around for the proper colors etc. A specialist auto paint store is where you need to go and ask questions.
And note: this clear coat in a can has an activator or hardener, for simple parts under the hood like the battery hold down a simple can of Krylon will do. But for the exterior of the car and for lasting results only a 2 part paint will work. And alkyd paint like rustoleum that people have used will not hold up to certain chemicals like gasoline etc. the Urethane will, and an automotive paint will have the best UV protection as well. Use the wrong stuff on a large area and it will look goofy when it fades out, unless it has constant wax and polishing.

Wasn't aware that Dupli-Color made matching paint for any car. Even the label on the can says "exact match, universal". Huh? For all your driveway rattle-can needs I recommend: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/
