Default Painting lip with matched rattle can

If i get a lip and try to get a can of paint that is matched for my car along with some clear coat designed for the paint, will it be a close match to my car? The paint is the satin metalic is isnt faded due to being kept indoors.

get it done by a pro... b/c one you going to have to primer it and then add a flex additive to the paint in order for the paint to stick and that way the lip can be move and bent with paint.... if they do not add the flex it would start to crack

You can get flex additive added when you checkout.

Do it yourself, makes you feel worth something in the end. The flex additive will help, even without it you'll live.

I have since took them off, due to cracking the front lip.
This is the DAY i got them installed, so the mismatch in paint is less noticeable than when i took them off ( faded slightly).
