Ok if you wana do it or ur friend can do it at home, great. I got the site that you can buy the factory paint from. Trust me, it completely safe. This is where i got the paint for my WDP from.
http://www.automotivetouchup.com/
Go there, chose ur year, make, and color . And urs is B92P Nighthawk Black Prl right , so pick that.
Ok if you plannin to paint whole kit(front, sides, rear) You will need 4 and a half spray cans. So just oder5 of 12 oz Aerosol Spray Paint . And it takes a week or more to get to ur house.
And yes those are factory paint so dont worry man. I got mine 4 cans White Diamond pearl but dam costed me around like 170 bucks. Because they shipped to me both Ground colors and the Base color to make it match with the White Pearl.
But i think ur color is just simple. Just some base colors then u will be fine. Lol Dont get confuse all right.
All you gotta do oder ur right paint from that site and ...drink coffe every morning to wait it to come lol.
Good luck with the paintin.

Unless things are blended together there is no magic here you go paint code for a older car. Dont go to macco. they suck and thats the kind of paint job you will get.
Look in your phone book for Automotive PAINTs stores NOT parts stores. many of them will mix them up in a spray can for you. If not (this info would be available if you used the search button) get the raw material and use one of these (found at paint stores and places like Home Depot) Also ask for them to reduce the paint for you too.
also look into tower paints.

Ive been wanting to repaint my hood. theres tons of rock chips and tons of scratches.
would this be an option for me? Or is it better left to the pros?

Maaco sucks. Our paint doesnt cost a few hundered dollars. The just mask off the parts and paint the rest. Our is 2 stage paint. The primer, base black(stage 1), blue pearl(stage 2), and clear coat. To get a real good paint job, they must remove trim piece not mask them off. prep the paint. do the 2 stage and finish properly. this can cost a couple thousand.

Although it seems my car's paint was well taken care of by the previous owner.

I wonder if the NBP paint would still be soft after a respray like it is soft from the factory. Or if the respray would actually be a tougher paint job than the factory one even though it is the same paint code they use to mix it.
