Circumstance has forced me to buy a new headlight bezel for my 93 coupe. These are easily purchased, but apparently come unpainted. What would be the best approach to getting these painted? Naturally my concern is that the paint matches. Does GM make Polo green can of spray paint I can buy that will match? If so what is the part #? Any thoughts ideas or suggestions from someone who’s been through the paint match dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

Some body shops custom mix paint to match the car.

There are alot of places that mix paint and put it in spray can. Just call up some paint shops and they could probablly tell you where to get it done

I used spray cans to paint the front and back of my 300zx. It was actually easy. I got the paint from this place.
