    i have mine made at G & M in Sun Valley, CA. They match up the paint perfectly and they throw in in a rattle can. However you need to get a top clearcoat if you want it to really match up. Just check in your local yellow pages for an automotive paint shop they can help you out

      I found a rattle can that was kinda-sorta close. I did my door handles and it was ok. I did my bumper trim and it was ok until I did clear coat. It turned to a nicotine yellow. I don't know if the clear was old.

      Did my spoiler with no clear and it lasted about 6 months.

      Had my skirts and lip spoiler done professionally and it was worth it. I think larger surface areas will show the can and spec color diff easily.

      I can get the rattle can spec # for you later tonight if interested.

      Are you going to mount skirts yourself?
