Default finding paint codes...

I bought a civic bout a month ago, and cannot contact the owner who painted the car, and i need touchup paint for it. I was told its a ppg paint, called vogue silver metallic, and i found a site that has vogue silver metallic but its not a ppg paint. I dont no if there is a difference. i looked online and cant find much. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Default Re: finding paint codes...

What ive done before is take like the gas door off, and bring it into the paint shop. They have some Laser scanner that will give them a paint code. And if u buy cheap paint it wont match. If ur going to buy PPG get their DBU and itll match fine.
