It might have the same color code, but it might not be a perfect match. Different manufacturers, different metallic particles, etc...

Like 67abody said TCP global..if your paint is in great shape and its the original color you can probably blend it in without much problem.

I’m sure Joe B ( oldsmaniac ) will chime in. He’s painted at least 2 cars with it. Matt

TO all that replied, A BIGGG THANK YOU !! hopefully the paint will match, it is a trailer queen. It has probably seen about 3 hours of sun since it was painted in 2010.

Silver is a tough color to paint and attempt to match. Hopefully you'll be able to blend whatever areas that need painting. Good luck!

Unknown if you can get a matching color but Duplicolor sells lacquer paint in quarts. In my area the paint is available at O'reilly Auto Supply.

Thank you, yes I know silver is a big pain in the a.... to match.! I do have 3 qts of the paint that the car was sprayed with back in 2008. The question is I hope the paint is still ok..

If the can properly sealed, you will be OK.
Put the can in the paint shaker upside down and shake for at least 5 minutes.
Do a test panel first.

Shake it up and spray a test panel.
If it's still good and matches you're good to go.

Your car was painted before 2007. It was in senior class in Dearborn 08.

if someone told you it was painted in 2010 they were incorrect. Car was in the senior preservation class in 2008. So it had to win junior before that.
