If you bring it to Honda they will sublet the work to another bodyshop and charge you even more. Pretty pointless in my opinion. Just go to a good bodyshop and have them color match it for you. They'll do just as good as any Honda sublet work... sometimes better.

I'm agreeing with ozzyman, honda will rip u a new one to do that, in my opinion, a good professional body shop is way better than hondas original paint. I've seen tons of cars with factory orange peel, don't know about you but I don't like orangepeel, most people don't even notice it, but when you've painted cars for 8 years it sticks out like a sore thumb! And a good body shop can color match perfectly with even aged/slightly faded paint. Just my 2cents
