Paint match options?

Ok, so I am going to Joey mod the HID projectors that are on the way, and I need to know some sources on the paint color of my Mini.

2003 MCS Dark Silver. PPG 303712

Where can I get a can of this stuff so I can do the rings and interior of the lights? I'd like to do a color match to the car and some red highlights.

I have a PPG shop in town, but I'd like an aerosol can option over a self mix and HLVP sprayer option.

Options?

Got lucky and found a local PPG shop that loads aerosol for $26 a pop.

Easier than trying to ship up here. Shipping alone was $40.

funny,

I started to ask if you asked your local shop if they would load a rattle can as many do ....

but it seemed you were past that point

don't forget that they will probably be giving you the color base part of "base / clear" system unless you've made special arrangements to get the color as a one step .....

I've spent many a day in Dutch Harbor and Kodiak, and more than a few in Adak and hid in the lee of St Paul more than once ....
