Definitely won't match at all. I'd suggest finding an auto parts store where they mix paint *and* are flexible. Ask them to mix you a pint or quart of your car's color. Try it out, then go back into the store and ask for a little raw tint in whatever color(s) you think you need to add to get a better match on the paint. You'll need to bring your own containers for the tint. Most stores will give you a splat or two of tint for free. Head back to your driveway, put a little paint in a container, then start adding drops of tint until you get close enough that you like it. With a little patience, you should be able to get almost a perfect match. Bob
