From the sounds of it, you are in the same boat I am in.... best to go to a body shop with your paint code man.... with us there are 3 types of Labrador Black. Mine is X42. Go to the dealiership, give them your VIN to find out what the paint code is, then find a body shop that will get you that color. Mitsu might be able to, but since they are a stealership, it will be $$$ to get it. Hope you have better luck then me. I am looking to get my wing painted, and it seems like the best bet I have is to get it professionally done...

I have never bought off this site before but you can order a 12.5 oz spray cans of the paint and clearcoat. Just select the year, make, and model then you'll see different the options. Priced as follows: basecoat (labrador black)=$24.95, clear coat=$10.95, and primer=$10.95. Kind of pricey. http://www.paintscratch.com/ Best of luck!
