We have a place down in redding that sells stock or custom paint in cans for 20$ a pop and it's always a very close match. Black will very easy to do from a can because it will be low on the car not like a wing............
I had mine professionally sprayed because 1) i didnt have the supplies (yes easy to get i know) and 2) cuz i wanted it to perfectly match my santorin blue.
cost me like 70 bucks cuz its the one of the best body shops in washington but it is perfect. they will be painting my lowers too.

I went to wal-mart and picked up some dupicolor black, dupicolor clear coat and 400 grit sand paper. It looks wicked, couldn't be happier.
I sanded it first, wiped it down then sprayed with the black like 5-6 coats over 2-3 days. I sanded spots which I didn't like after each coat. I did probably 5-6 clear coats. Took me like a week just because I took my time and I work full time.
