FLAT silver is the closest match... i used duplicolor plain silver on my car and its pretty close... along with primer and clear coat... so try that

you wont get an exact match even with your paint code.especially with silver metallic;very hard to match up.
itl be close but not perfect tho.maybe darker or lighter depending on the paint pour'ers mistakes

even take for example;i just painted my front bumper with the same paint i used to paint my sides and its still a little off..just the way metallic are. :(

very true, most bumpers dont match from the factory because they are painted at different times. temp, humidity, air pressure, distance gun is from panel all effect the way metallics show (stand or lay flat).

Yeah, even with the color matched stuff i get at the local paint store, it doesn't quite match the honda satin silver. It's fine for something like a lip kit as the slight difference is very hard to perceive but on a trunk it would be more obvious.

I'd get it done professionally for sure.

duplicolor makes satin silver metallic which should be close if your paint code is NH623M
