    I was wondering about this too, hence my car being silver and silver is the HARDEST colour to match (so i have been told at auto body shops)

    Just go to a paint supplier and get a spray can made with your paint code, I did this with a set of hood vents to match my 2002 Galaxy Silver, cost was $23.00 for a can and was a damn close match to my existing paint.

    I need some tips on paint repair. I heard that if you wet sand after you use dupli-color, then clear coat it, it would be pretty damn close

    I talked to a body shop that would mix me two can of automotive spray can paint and one can of outomotive spray can clear and it was $80. That was for black. I would get paint from a body shop be for I got a can of duplicolor. IMO

    I used dupli color on my filler plate and it wasn't even close. Looked more vanilla than bright white.

    Idk how well that shows it but it is noticeable. I wasn't thinking or I would have had the shop repaint it when they did spoiler. It bugs me everyday lol. I was told rustoleums bright white rattle can matched pretty darn close to our white. So maybe give that a try first.
