I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get few cans of spray paint to match the color of my car. I want to paint the fake wood in the interior the body color of the car, and maybe try to repaint the front bumper...Thanks guys

Uhhh, try the HONDA dealership??:dunno: you could always go to Crappy tire, but it wont be as accurate of color match, there "Volkswagen White" that was SUPPOSED to match the paint on my Passat, was horrible! didnt match AT ALL.:thumbsdow

Think there's a place called Dean's paint, they can put custom paint in a can.

Honda doesn't have it in a can. And I don't want touch up paint in a bottle. I won't buy the Canadian Tire paint, because, from past experiences- it doesn't match.

I also heard that Deans shut down, from a few people.

I will try Sam's, thank-you :thumbsup:

The paint at UAP/NAPA seems to match pretty well, if not, you can get them to custom mix you paint.

Just out of curiosity, what color are you painting the faux wood trim? Satin finish paint from crappy tire (not a motomaster brand) has a very good semi-gloss finish.

Yah, I got a can a couple months back to paint my front lip. Color isn't perfect, pretty close. Doesn't compare to using a compressor and brush though, but its good for a cheap or DIY job.

Also, when you order over the phone for your paint always tell Dean's you'll pay in cash. He'll have the can ready sooner. :thumbsup:
