Painting the grille

I want to Paint the grille on my HHR Summit white. I would like to do it myself, using spray paint. (rattle cans). I am not having any luck finding GM Factory colors in spray cans. Am I missing something? Can someone here help? Maybe there is another white spray paint out there that is close to a match?

I know.. It's like I'm stalking you

Others who have Summit Whites have done this, and I'm sure they will chime in soon...

I've been looking into this as well and I've found our local O'Rilley can fill a spray can with your color for a reasonable price (around $11). Looks like that's the route I'll go.

Go to another dealer! I've bought my paint from my local dealer for about $10 bucks a can.



Once you start painting, you wont want to stop!
