Off-the-shelf spray paint for re-painting fascias?
I'm looking for suggestions on a good can of spray paint that I can buy from a store like Home Depot and use to re-paint my front and rear fascias. Something that's close to the original color. Just the grey portion, I will leave the black unpainted. My plan is to give it a good prep, spray it with a good grey/silver paint, and then top it off with a satin clearcoat. I plan on painting with the fascias still on the car, and covering the other parts of the car to avoid overspray. I know taking it to a professional paint shop is the way to go for perfection, but I'd like to give it a shot myself for at least satisfactory results. My fascias are faded out and pretty much anything would be an improvement. My main concern is finding a spray paint that's pretty close to the original color, not too light or too dark. If anybody has done this with pretty good results, please let me know. Thanks
Another good mail order paint store
I got my paint from http://www.automotivetouchup.com
I used the 2011 Lamborghini Aventador's Grigio Antares Metallic (Code 0048). Spraying metallic is a little tricky since you can't sand it out if you mess it up. You have to redo it. I'll say it is better to have more paint than you think you need. I used 4 cans on each along with 4 cans of clear on each. They have all the things to prep and mask the car there too.

I recommend getting this too. Much easier to hold:

Thanks for all the great suggestions
Rob & Rich, I like how those look. Rob mentioned the color almost matches the stainless in some angles, and other times looks darker. That's good, that's how I would describe the look of the original. Does the SEM paint you used have flex agents like Alex brought up? Did you end up doing a satin clear coat over it?
