Honda only sells the little bottles of touch up paint. I've been trying to find ANY brand of paint that does Captiva blue since I bought my car 2 1/2 years ago... No luck. Only way to do it is to have it mixed.

depends how good the shop is. Some will match it to YOUR paint. That way it matches the fading or if it was mixed SLIGHTLY differently at the factory. Other shops do it off the paint code. So if you are going to blend it, no problem. If you just want to do one panel and be done... Might not look right. Just depends on the condition of your paint.

theres a shop around here, they generally mix off of the paint codes, but they blend it...its very hard to tell if you have a professional do it.
btw, there is no color in clear coat, thats why its called CLEAR COAT, and thats why its so blood hard to use.
