I went to wal-mart and bought a can of dupli-color nighthawk black pearl spray paint. I primed my grill and painted it. As it was drying I removed the tape, and the other stuff. I looked at it, it looked good with the specks in it but it was a dark blue, I mean really blue not black. So I took some gas and scrubbed it off. Does anyone have this problem with the bupli-color paint not matching?

 

I believe most people on this board had it matched at a bodyshop, which i think might be your best bet.

 

I am most likley going to get a semigloss black or satin black next time and try it. Its alot better than spending $100 at the bodyshop IMO. But thanks for the idea.

 

nighthawk black pearl is black with blue pearls. my 00 prelude is nbp and in direct sunlight..it looks very much dark blue.

 

same thing here, my son's car is also a NBP ands he had a deep scratch so I bought him a can of Duplicolor to soon find out it has too much "blue" in it....so I went with this place and had better luck.......... .

 

when i blacked out my logo i noticed it was more blue, but so is the whole car. i'm happy with it. u can't expect a factory finish from a can, but even body shops have to make adjustments. i wouldnt use it to blend scrathes

 

i just used colorite paint on my front bumper of my 02 tl-s, color was dead on, alot of guys use this company on the kawasaki board and are also pleased. i got the aerosol cans of primer, paint and clear, $50 shipped to my door.

 

Youre not gonna get an exact match from a spray can, you would need to go to a bodyshop for that.

 

paintscratch, is a good place also. They supposedly color-match it to the factory color rather than just a universal blend.

 

thanks for the tips. im most likley going to pain it semi-gloss black. It should look goog, at least IMO.
