Look in your drivers side door jamb, there should be a paint code there. I think yours should be G-95P or G-89P, but probably the former. We'll go from there.

Yeah a paint store can put your paint into spray cans for you and it should match pretty well depending on how faded your current color is.

I just did my side mirrors. Some things you also want to get at the paint store is primer and clear coat. also 400 grit sand paper for primer and paint and 600 i think it was for the clear coat. Ill post pics of my final result. It turned out ok, but not a shiny as id like. Thats probably due to not wet sanding the clear coat, as I only had 400 grit sand paper avil.

Iv never done any body work or paint but iv learned the more I practiced at it the better I got. The license plate part was not wet sanded and it didnt turn out as good as the side mirrors. It makes a huge difference.

Why not do it right instead of half-assing it?

i just went to autozone, gave the number on my door jam, bought a couple cans, some clear, and my mirrors and rear plate molding matched perfectly.

i just sanded them, sprayed, cleared, done. been like that for 2years now w/ zero issues, chips, etc. i think i spent maybe 10bux.

I wouldn't even clear coat, the rattle cans don't come like a regular base coat. You can lay them out smooth and glossy, clear coat in a can is just going to make it look like garbage.
