Confused about paint?
I am looking for dupli-color/plasti-kote touch up paint for my Vogue silver metallic 99 Civic and when I go to both of there websites that color does not exist, The only color that is listed is: NH623M Satin Silver M and the color code for my car is NH583M. Why is that? Is there a color that is close? When I look up the paint for a 2000 Civic there are 3 different color silvers for that but none are what I am looking for.
NH623M Satin Silver M
NH638M Starlight Silver M
RP31M Signet Silver M
What should I do?
Does this color look close to the color of my car: This is suppose to be starlight silver
NH623M Satin Silver M
NH638M Starlight Silver M
RP31M Signet Silver M
What should I do?

Honestly... two different shots. Different lighting, different cameras. It will be impossible. You could easily photoshop either to match perfectly... if both cars were in the same shot, it'd be a lot more definitive.

Just go to a paint supply store for body shops and have your paint "blocked" and buy the smallest amount they will mix for you - that's what I did.

Then head to a paint or body shop to have the color matched, otherwise it will be off. Last time to get one can for a whole fender it cost me about $15.

1 regular size rattle can gave me 2 or 3 coats on my fender, if that helps you at all.

I wish I was too. That is a really good price. How much would it cost to repaint the whole car the same color? It is really expensive down here.

he can't paint whole cars
he has a full booth, but he does this off hours at his job, and can't tie up the booth

Re: Confused about paint? (mushu315)
just go to a body shop, give them the paint code on your door and they will order the exact paint for you car.
People, don't make this so complicated, trying to match **** with spray paint and stuff. Just get the original stuff!!!
