I found a site that offers aerosol paint based on manufacturer, vehicle, and the paint code on your driver door panel.

Not too expensive, around $22 per can. But if you're like me and you have an '02 with midnight grey paint and it's nowhere to be found so you can paint match your headlights, then it's a godsend to have found it.

Very nice find!! I'll be wanting some of this in the summer to touch up some places in the engine bay.

Cheers

Good stuff, very similar to Paintscratch.

I received my can of "LO" code paint today and if the rain subsides this weekend I'll be painting eyelids on my headlights and painting the top portion of my taillights. If the painting can happen I'll let you all know what I think of it.

"LO" is the midnight grey color only offered during the 2002 model year so we'll see how this rattle can turns out.

here in south bend we have a finishmaster, supplier of automotive paint to bodyshops, and a couple of years back, they would inject the paint of your choice in and aerosol can, about 15oz i belive, for about 8-10 bucks a can. i need to check up on them to see if the price went up.

Well got the painting done this weekend even with the rain. Thank goodness for garages.

The paint match is about as close as you could possibly get. I could have clear coated more so it would shine more to match the car but I'm not sure more than 2-3 coats would be much different. As soon as I can get pics taken I will post for comparison.
