Looking for color matched graphite gray spray paint

When i had my silver 06 cobalt ss supercharged, i found color matched duplicolor trim/accessory paint. i used it to color match the plastic grills, and also some plastic body panel caps that i used to cover the holes that were left when i removed my license plate frame. I have a graphite gray evox now...does duplicolor have a color code that is identical or very close to graphite gray? if there is any spray paint that closely matches my color....it would be greatly appreciated. 3 color matched caps would look worlds better on my front bumper than the three rubber grommet screw things.

Dealer. They have paint markers you can get for touch ups.

Go to a body shop and have them mix up a small tin of GG paint. You can get 1x use spray applicators to paint the parts you need to.

I had to paint 8 plastic plugs to fill the deck holes when i went wingless on my GG X. I used the factory touch-up paint. It's a new, double-headed pen with one side color matched and the other side a clear coat. Mitsu part number for GG is MZ313354

This place will custom mix a spray can for any car: http://www.paintscratch.com/

I haven't used them, but have seen a lot of good reviews on various car boards.

Thanks for posting that...looks interesting. $25 for a spray can seems fair for a guarantee match.

The site calls it "Effect Gray Pearl Metallic Clearcoat" instead of "Graphite Gray Pearl", but the color code (A39) is the right one, so it should be right.

let us know how it looks after you spray. Thanks for the paint pen numbers. Every time I wash my car I see more and more rock chips.
