ppg sprays really nice on the car and is cheap not the cheapest but not the most expensive most painters stick to paints they like because they know how it will react to spraying it in different conditions. im pretty sure honda doesn't make paint and im not sure what brand they use but u can make it match perfectly if u are a good painter....

well the paint is going to be about 400, reducer=20, clearcoat=40, etc. im going to install the body kit and mold it myself and with some buddies, so not too much for me, but if your paying for your work to be done its much more expensive
