I have a 2002 V6. My paint is fair. i have some chips and all that from over the years, as well as cracks and scrapes on the front and rear bumpers. I'm looking to get some OEM paint or colors matching touch up paint. My car is the Zinc Yellow. Thanks for the help!

Advance Auto...Autozone...Orileys....they all carry exact color match in cans, bottles, pens, etc....just read your paint code off your door placard and find the color that matches that code

Still not going to match 100% regardless. You have to realize that you have almost 9 years of fade on your paint, and it is not the same shade anymore from when it was new. If you want an exact match you will need to get the paint blended in by a pro.

Yeah, i know. I've already considered that fact. Thats why i was planning on buying enough to just respray the whole car. I have the paint gun and all the necessary tools to paint a vehicle. My uncle and a few family friends have experience in repainting cars, as my whole family has done nothing but work on and restore older cars ever since they were my age. I do know a professional painter, but to get him to paint it would cost a few grand that i don't have.

Oh, alright. I'll have to try Napa then. I didn't think of going there.
