Default Paint Question

If this is a very noobish question, I am really sorry. I put on my DIY CTR grill yesterday (and it looks amazing) but the white color is just the slightest bit off. How do I go about getting a hold of some Taffeta white paint? Can I just go up to the people at Home Depot and be like, "Hey, I need some Taffeta White, my paint code is nh-578-4, hop to it."? Preferably in a spray form because I don't have access to an actual car sprayer.

I tried going through Honda but all they offer is these little touch up bottles of the paint. If there is no way to get my hands on some of this white, what paint could I use instead? Thank you for any and all help.

Try autoparts stores, they usually have small rattle cans of paint to match certain manufacturer's colors. Not sure how rare your color is. Also maybe an autobody shop supplier.

Edit: I'll take a look tomorrow and see if we sell it where I work.

It shouldn't be too rare. It's the stock white for the 98 honda civic, it's called Taffeta White and the paint code from my door is NH-578-4.
