Hey guys I'm looking at color matching my bumpers and grille surround on my first gen. I thought about looking around to find factory color matched stuff but I thought I'd ask how much trouble it is to do it yourself. My trucks lunar mist and I do not know what paint to buy to match it best, I've tried duplicolor but it doesn't seem to match up like I thought. Any suggestions on paint or how it's done? Thanks

Look at "Automotivetouchup.com". You can get custom mixed spray cans or bulk paint based on the paint code of your particular color.
