I need to use rattlecan paint once in a while for small things. The one I've used, http://www.automotivetouchup.com/, doesn't match well (3L2 red). I've also looked at the thread where purplegt4 painted his skirts and that paint (from paintscratch.com) didn't seem a perfect match either, but I don't know if that car was faded.

Does anyone have a source of paint that matches well?

its nearly impossible to get a perfect match every time.

there are "alternates" designated by the OEM's for color variences, for instance even toyota 202 "black"
has 4 basecoat alternates.

the only way to really match paint like that is to have your local paint supplier "chip" your car, with the paint system that is going to be used color chips.

3l2 (or any red for that matter) is one of those that has a bunch of alternates which makes it hard to get a good match with out of a spraycan.
