post a pic of what you are trying to repair and I can try giving you some advice on what you should get to fix it

but a big heads up warning, Silver is freaking impossible to repair without it being noticeable

From what I've read those rattle cans are not an exact match. Touching up areas is already noticeable as it is, which is why most people repaint the entire door or quarter panel, etc. So you want to make sure you have the best match possible. I've just read several instances of people painting their lips with that stuff, and it not being close enough. Maybe they didn't prep correctly though.

Still, I would go to a Sherwin Williams auto paint center and get some mixed up.

I got a can made from dupoint. Used the Vin to match it as Honda is the worst company for paint. easily 12 codes for silver

having it paint matched is the only way it will look okay. but really if its anything big it'll be noticeable no matter what. also keep in mind that that paint code was applicable the day it rolled of the lot, but time changes it every so slightly that you will notice a difference. if it anything big, I'd have a shop do it
