So I stopped in at my local napa for some ATF. I saw a can sitting on the check-out desk of a can of spray paint. Napa can now mix up most any paint and put it in a rattle can. Just need the paint code or a sample. With a sample, they have a gun that they point at the subject sample or paint chip, and it'll tell them the correct mix of everything.
My local Napa cannot do this but they can get these from the Napa that is 35 miles away who does mix it.

They've been doing that for years here. The match comes up as Honda blue neon or something like that. Near perfect match

honda "electron blue pearl", and that particular mix adds some extra coin to the cost. i would be one to debate the color match, unless my paint mixers messed up the formula. i had some mixed about 3 years back and wasnt happy with the color, still have about 3/4's of a can.

I painted my trailing arms with that color and you couldn't tell the difference unless you held the arm up to the original color on the hood. You can get the correct color from color rite but it isn't cheap!

I had to pony up for my GP 1200, someone used to play bumper boats with it.
