i like to go to napa in waipahu, the guy who mixes paint there is chad, try calling as his schedule is wierd. he color matches for you, so bring him a gas door or a foglight cover and hell try to match it.

i used to go to redline automotive, but they mix off the standard recipe, this did not turn out well with my cgm color, but you may have better results with your aspen white. i bought cgm from them twice and both came out too light, but waipahu napa's paint came out near perfect. he color matched my fog light cover.

its expensive stuff, do you have a paint gun and all??

napa does that, but i think you have to order alot. also, the finish of spray paint is never close to a professional gun, it hazes, bubbles and texturerizes... is that a word? haha.. but yea i highly suggest you stay away from a spray can of paint... if you know how to color sand, you can probably use the spray can. spray quite a few coats so you can sand it down when it cures. after sanding it, buff it. if its on a curvy area, dont do it this way, its hard to buff curves and edges.
