I would match the (exterior) color of your car. You should be able to have someone match the paint, and they can put it in a spray can too.

Actually, you could get Dupli-Color from PlastiKote for under $5. If your car is a factory color, you can already get it from any of your local auto parts stores that sell this stuff. Pep Boys' sells it for sure. They'll be on a shelf that's arranged by manufacturer and you could pick the one that's the closest. The colors aren't always EXACT, but it's so close that nobody would ever notice. Just ask the counter person if you can take the can outside to compare the cap on it to your car.

So $15 is too much? I had a place match my paint and mix up a quart which cost me $10. Then I had them put some in a spray can for like $5. Hell, a small bottle of touch-up paint is like $5-7 from the dealer!

Well I did that a few years ago when I had a Red Civic HB. I can't see if costing all that much different for different color paints though. You could also get the Dupli-Color from PlastiKote online: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/rodi/duplicolor.html
