Where to get color matched spray paint
I recently bought a strut tower brace and would like to paint the ends as well as the engine cover to match my car. Where is the best place to but color matched paint in a spray can? I have a 2013 Blue Ray Metallic.

I took my paint code to NAPA and they mixed it up and put it in a rattle can.

Autozone has small cans, and a limited selection. Plus the paint sits on the shelves there for years.
This too, I was not fond of them, I only use it when Im in a rush, and never on something that needs to match. |

Where the heck is the paint code on the 2015's? On the internet Bright Yellow is listed as G7D touch up as WA-131X but on atomotivetouchup.com they list that as Lemon Peel. Also I wanted to get a front splitter and I was curious if anyone could recommend a color to match the black grill parts on the front bumper and what kind of clear I would use on both the yellow and the black.

Call a local body shop and ask where they buy supplies. Then go there, give them your paint code and they'll mix up a batch and put it in a very nice aerosol can. Usually costs about $15.

Tin roof rusted is the same as Red Rock mettallic. Pull me over red is the same as Red Hot Etc. I think they tend to use the other names to avoid having to pay a fee to GM, but hey I don't really know |
