Default Matching Spray Paint??

I'm trying to find another vehicle that has a paint color very close or the same to Sebring Silver so I can use it to locate some touch up spray paint from some of the local auto parts stores. Anybody have any experience or ideas on this???

Here is perhaps a better idea or two:

Get your paint code and head off to the nearest professional paint supply - they can make it up for you, along with selling you a small, inexpensive kit that has a small glass bottle, a small can of propellant, and away you go.

I have had good luck also from:

Find a good paint shop and ask a professional about *Burning In* whatever spots you are concerned about.

Wal- mart has a wheel coating spray paint that matches sebring perfect! It's $3 a can ! I painted my front lip and that black section under the license plate on the back bumper and it looks professional. I put 10 light coats of silver then 6 light coats of clear! It has the exact same amount of metalic to match flawlessly! I wouldn't paint a body panel with it but it's great for small areas!

I don't have any pics but you can go to www.TBAS2K.com and see my car painted( look under photos from TBA events and go to the one year aniversary skyway bridge meet in January). I have the "Del Sol" spoiler on the back of mine. The paint is called duplicolor high performance wheel coating( silver obviously) I used an automotive clear coat spray can that I got at Wal-mart also. Finely sand the area first so that it will adhere good and last! Many light, light coats is the key to eveness and longevity! Again I painted my front amuse style lip and rear bumper bottom! Good luck I hope it helps!
