best spray paint to match WDP??

so i scrapped the bottom of the front spoiler while goin through a stupid wendy's drive through. the scrape is low enough that i am actually willing to just spray paint it. i'm sure it would be hard to notice.

anyway, just wonderin whats the best can of spray paint out there that would match the WDP. its too big of a job for the little touch up paint that acura has.

thanks in addvance

WDP is a very hard color to match by professionals, so i doubt that there will be a spray on product that will match with the rest of the car. Anyway, I think a member accuratein spray painted his new verus bumper with a paint that matched pretty well, though it was a little brighter. search for a thread with keywords verus motorsports.

yeah its pretty impossible to color match..well not impossible but really really difficult. Some guy had something painted on his WDP and the shop actually painted with the escalade white pearl which looked haha he had to get it done again.

Spray paint is going to be really hard to find, I think if it's at a point where you can't really tell if the bumper is a different color, go with a really really light offwhite. Gonna take alot of searching to find such a color though

Go to www.paintscratch.com and order cans of paint from them. You'll need 3 cans to do the job: base coat, mid-coat, and clear coat. Depending on the size of the scratch, you might find their brush-on paint to work almost as well and save you some money. The web site sells all the stuff you will need to do the repair yourself. I don't work for them and I'm very happy with their products.

word ^

you might also want to try Duplicolor. I bought some NBP spray paint to paint my grille and rear strip above the license plate and it matched really well

I think so, first the white, then pearl, then the clearcoat.
