Default Finding exact paint color to spray paint a replacement bumper?

I bought a new, primed front bumper for my green 1997 Civic. The color "code" is inside the door panel, but where would I go to find the same exact color so I can spray it myself, that exact color?

Thanks

Not sure, but if you take you gas cap door to a paint place they should be able to mix an exact match for you.

Or I'd try NAPA or some place like that who carries dupicolor paint. If anything go to a honda dealer and ask them about it, who sells it, etc.....but of course if you buy paint from a dealer (if you can do that...) it'll probably be more expensive than anywhere else

Lowes can make you any color paint and put it in a spray can.

I didnt know Lowes did that. I know there are places online that sell spray cans of honda colors. I just saw a good one in a thread about a week ago on here actually that was cheap.

There's the thread. They match to OEM, put it in a rattle can, and ship it to you. Or you can buy it by the pint and use your own spray gun.
