was wondering if anyone knows where you can buy 'oem color matching paint', i'm wanting to paint my lips,sideskirts, and such, but didn't know where i can find something that has the closest match.
My car is a civic 00, and the color i believe is 'Champagne Beige Metallic', i can't find a picture anywhere for you guys to see the color of this.. but i'm guessing its this one.
thanks and help appreciated

 

At the automotive paint store. Don't use rattle can crap if you don't want it to look like a $10 paint job.

Paint stores have tons of catalogs and will easily be able to match the paint on your car and mix you some.

 

Cant you just buy it from the dealership?

 

I'm sure you can if you want to pay a lot more... The dealership does not have some kind of special paint that any paint store cannot provide.

 

I dont think i'll need to 'mix' paint, not sure how that works, and not too crazy about the paint. I dont relaly know much about it lol,
I heard auto touch ups makes some good identical oem paint... any one used them before?

 

go to automotivetouchup.com. You give them your paint code and they'll match it. I ordered some paint for my lip but haven't painted it yet. My nephew got his paint there too for the front of his car and it looks good.

 

Paint stores have a few bases ranging from clear to white to silver paint which they add tint to to make any color imaginable. You thought they had 30,000 different colors all on the shelf?

Automotive touch ups is 19.95 a can, and heard they do really good... paintscratch is 24.95 a can.
Anywhere where i can find cheaper?? cheaper the better basically, while still having SOME decent oem color quality.
Basically I need enough cans for sideskirts, trunk lip, rear lip, and possibly front lip.
