No auto manufacturer actually sells paint. There is no such thing as Chevy paint, Honda paint etc... Auto manufacturers sign contracts with paint manufacturers like Dupont, PPG, Sikkens etc... to use their paint. The paint used on your vehicle is not the same as what you can get out of a spray can. They are two different things. Most auto manufacturers will sell color matched spray paint for small and minor applications, but it is not even close to what is on the car. It might work on your emblem, but I would suggest having your emblem painted a flat black like most on the site. More importantly, if you have not painted anything before then i would not suggest starting now. It is not as easy as what some people think.

Off the website above, I'm really liking the Punisher bowtie.
