I need to paint a small part of my wifes frame after i fixed a dent in it. I was wondering is there a color that matches the graphite grey that someone has used that you can pick up at the parts store? 25 bucks is too much for me to pay for a can of spray paint.

$25 seems high, but the factory spray paint is dead on the money color match. Worth it in my opinion. I thought it was around $15/$18 a can.

Reminds me of "Do you want it fixed right or fixed right now?"

I already said i didnt want the factory paint. I just need to know if someone has found a paint that is close.

$14 dollars is still to much for spray paint.

Dam, I thought I was cheap. It makes sense to me to buy paint that matches the original color to a tee, not "a paint that is close".

Its not that i dont want to do it right its just i am painting the area underneath the frame puck so close is fine.

With diesel the way it is every penny counts for me, so 15-25 dollars on spray paint is not spending my money wisely.
