DO NOT USE CANS OF SPRAY PAINT. You will spend lots of money on primer, paint and clear coat. Just save up a some money and take it to Macco. It will look ten times better. And we don't need another ruined Honda driving around.

i would suggest going into a spray shop and get ideas... they usually have the tone color codes on display. it would be better to see first hand anyways. that's just my opinion.
