I don't like chocolate. Send me a box of PES G2 instead.

No, Duplicolor makes a pretty exact match for facelift silver cars, but nothing else. Paintscratch.com is good (sometimes...definitely check the paint match on something before putting it on the car....duh, right? Right.) or you can find a Sherwin-Williams or the like that'll scan your car and mix up a custom batch.

how much did it cost you to get it done professionally? I just moved into an apartment so my DIY options have been severely limited (plus im going to be getting a new bumper + fender painted and put on so I might as well throw lowers in there if it isnt too much)
