RSX spray-paint!!
I know this question might be out of place, but I will apreciate at least one answer.
Im buying the lip kit and wing (type R) for my White RSX and I was wondering if there is a Spray paint that would match or even come close to the color of my car. The thing is, I dont want to buy factory paint from a shop, I just want a color in a can to match, just for the lips and stuff.
If anybody knows, let me know... will be really helpfull.
BTW: my car is a White pearl kind of looking on the RSX-S 02-04

you know, some times a color looks like it on the cap... when you paint, it looks a lot different.

It's going to look very ghetto if the color is not exact. Some people paint them black, and IMO this looks ghetto as well--especially on a white car.
I'd save up and have a bodyshop do it properly.

u asked for something that would closely match from a can. he gave u the best possible answer. ur asking about SPRAY PAINTING something that goes on ur car. ur lucky he even answered instead of flaming u.
i say if ur not gonna do it right then don't do it at all.

then why the expletive are you asking about spray paint then. try this:
1. get some white gloss spray paint from home depot
2. put like 5 coats on
3. find some rattle can clear coat and put on 2 or 3 coats of that
4. shotgun a bottle of aspirin in your bathtub
you and your ricer friends will never know the difference

Re: RSX spray-paint!! (02whiteDC5)
Jeez. It's hard for a body shop to match PWP. I have the OEM kit (PWP) and it doesn't even match the cars paint. I did have a body shop color match the fogs and they did a better job than Acura!

lol. Acura's Premium White Pearl paint is a 3-stage process when a body shop applies it. You seriously think the people at Home Depot will be able to make a paint that's anywhere close?
Take the parts to a bodyshop, period. Don't be ghetto.

$500 is too much to just spray a bumper--do the prep work yourself and only get the items sprayed.
Also, the RSX is a pearl. You'll be able to notice that something from a $4 can of walmart paint won't match.

No offense but, if it was me I would gladly hand over the $500 and have it be factory matched and painted. That "white" looks dull and isn't even close to the brilliance of the original white paint.

Re: (Tadehi)
interesting thread, if you want it to match closely, you CANT rattle-can it, i man maybe if the car was a single stage no pearl white like a ford pickup or something, but its not, cuz acuras are the ****, 3stage...
if you reaaaly have to there are threads on DIY paintingbuy you'd still have to buy paint from acura, and not expletive up
like my car, which is a 3stage candy, black/hella blue flake/clear, you are boned when it comes to DIY painting

To me, it looks like crap. Why buy a 20g car and not use quality products?

It looks like a $5 job...so I don't get your point. We have enough EFs and EGs running around with mis-matched bumpers and fenders. Those were $9000 cars, new. The RSX-S was a $25K car new.
If you can't afford to do the mod correctly, then why do it at all?
