Depends where you go, what color, what level of paint, any damage, and car.

if u want a good job done this is how its gonna be,
to match the paint right they will have to plaint the surrounding panels to blend the paint in, most shops that do custom work will tell u that but u can get it done cheap, but the difference from the faded paint and the new paint may be visible

If its a stock color you can just give them the number and they can mix it up and it should look really really close to the original. Unless you get the one step paint done which is the color and the clear coat combined. That paint is cheaper but won't look as well. Just go around to some autopaint shops and have them quote your car and ask them what would be best for them to do to make it match.

If you're not toooooo picky you can head over to Pep Boys and grab yourself a $3 bottle of touch up paint... just clean the area really well and paint on multiple layers. You might be able to sand and buff it after you're done for a good shine. All cheap and easy. Also, if you're feeling like dishing out some real cash you can get a $5 can of the auto touch up spray paint stuff. (for a savings of $400 if can't hurt to try it and see how it looks)

The touch up stuff from a regular store might not match as well. Best bet, if you're going to do that, is go to the Acura dealer and buy some, if its a stock color. If its not a very popular color or an older car, you will have to order it and they can only get it in sets of three.

The stuff i got for my integra matched the code perfectly and was labeled as a honda color specific to my year ('94)... It matched my existing paint fine... I guess it would have a lot to do with the color of your 'teg. Mine is white so any fading isn't noticeable. I mean if it were a nice body kit i'd get it professionaly done but I don't see any reason to go through loads of hassle and money to get them repainted if they're stock. I can definitely see going to the dealer. It will be more expensive, but if you worry its sometimes worth paying a lot more to calm your fears. Maybe try the Pepboys stuff on the underside of a bumper to see how it looks and if its noticeably off hit up your dealer. You can do a lot with $400 that i think you would get a lot more out of than half a paint job. just my opinion

Open up your phone book and look for Auto Paint or something along the lines of that. Then start calling around.
