If your car is a factory color, DupliColor that you can get anywhere matches up very well. When I got my car painted I bought a can of it and painted the door handles. When I put them on the car I couldn't see a difference.

Auto paint stores will only do up a minimum number of cans based upon either a pint or quart of paint. Very expensive. You won't find your color in Duplicolor or Plasticote. Best bet is to get a pint mixed up and just spray it. Not cheap however you do it.
Its possible though that you might be able to find a sorta similar color in duplicolor if you aren't picky. Try the import colors too.

Here's my idea....These things work great. You can buy em at NAPA, or if they don't have it in your area...you can order online at a decent price.

Then go get your color mixed in a single stage paint (acrylic enamel, etc.) pour a little in the preval, and spray away. MUCH BETTER results than your typical spray can, I'd say nearly as good as a spray gun. Also you don't fog the room when you spray with it as with an air powered gun. Nice for small jobs like this. Try it out.
