I had the can that the shop that painted my car used.  There is some left in it, but all NAPA needed was the paint codes.

The match looks good to me......its the trunk so hard to tell if its a PERFECT match....

My color (limelight) sort of looks darker one way versus the other anyways.

At first I thought maybe the new stuff was just a hair too green....but then I look at it again and it fine.   :dunno:

I have a couple bombs left and was debating whether to try repainting my front facia or if I should have someone with a gun shoot it.

This is a little off topic but if the solvents are still coming out of the paint for a month or so...how long should you waite before applying any stripes to the body?

Thanks for the info. I'd say go ahead and try painting the front facia yourself. If the trunk turned out good you should be able to do as well or better now that you've got the experience. Good Luck.
