Default Finding a matching paint color

I need to get some touch up paint for my 13/WA454G Silver SL2. However I cannot seem to find this in a touch up or spray at any automotive store.

Does anyone have recommendations on an exact match or something very close? I already tried Saturn... they didnt have any for my color.

I would like to get a touch up as well as a spray for some accessories.

If parts stores or Saturn can't get it for you, you'll probably have to get a small can custom-matched & mixed. I looked into that for my car, because Saturn used the same paint code for 4 different mixes of white, so I can't get touch-up paint either. A friend working at a parts store could make it for me, and quoted me approx $12, I think. White paint is usually cheaper than colors, and I don't know if he was cutting me a deal. Wouldn't hurt to ask about at someplace that can mix paint...

www.paintscratch.com is where I got the spray for my mirrors which I did myself. A little wetsand, a little primer, few coats of paint and clear and it is beautiful, looks exactly like its factory. Check out the pics. You simply tell them your paint code and they take care of the rest.

That silver thingy

is my Civic. But seeming as you only have 184 posts on here I will give you the benefit of the doubt for not knowing who I am or what I'm about. If I was on here bashing your Lego on wheels then I would allow that comment. But since you cannot find anything that I have written on here in regards to my earlier comment which is totally not true cause I used to own 2 Saturns. Then I would feel a lot better if you never called my car a silver thingy and refer to it as WTF.
