Default professional paint in a can?

i just bought a lip for my civic and heard that there are stores that sell car paints in a can..not just regular fix it paints but ones that will actually match the rest of the car..i think it'll b cheaper than taking it to a paint shop to do because last time i talked with them they wanted to paint the whole car..i just need the front end painted/rear lip..ani suggestions or where abouts?

If you were in Canada I could tell you were. I did a fender like that once. No clear coat so it was easy.

Just be careful though, paint fades in the sun. If you get paint in a can it will be the original colour, not the faded colour. Red is the worst for this, especially on bumpers. Paint shops use lasers/computers to colour match the paint to your current faded colour.

I would like to see this. Any "paint-in-a-can" that's gonna look like professional paint jobs would be a miracle. I just used professional paint to redo my whole car for nothing?
