well speaking from personal rattle can experience...... just about any generic black in a can is a damn close match to the stock color. be sure to put a few coats of clear on it or it will fade very quickly into a matte finish. imo i would not waste my $$ having a shop put the exact color black into an aerosol can.... because in the end its still a rattle can job, a temporary fix. not hating, cuz my kit is all rattle canned until i get $$ for a whole spray. looks good!

I cant believe people are spray painting their cars and others are condoning it..
I dont even need to use the 'its not a Honda' cliche for this. I wouldnt even do that to a Honda.

You go into the a good paint store and tell them the code you need. They mix and put it in a rattle can. Its the same one stage paint that most people use to paint cars with a HVLP gun. You can even pick your brand of paint just like if you was buying quarts at a time. If I'm not mistaken you can even get primer, base coat, and clear if your a base coat clear coat kind of guy. The tips you get equal about a 1.4 needle on a gun. You can get a really good result especially if your just doing a bumper or skirts.
The one stage paint does a great job on single color cars. If your trying to match a pearl color then you'll be able to tell a difference depending on lighting.
O yeah and i'm not saying it doesn't look good, because it does look damn good. Just letting him know there is a way to get a near perfect match out of a rattle can that he may not want to go back and have repainted later.
