Default Paint web site, where you can get exact match, HELP........

I cant remember the name of it, but there is a web site where you can get exact paint for your car. I have a WRB wrx and this spring I am going to paint my aero guards, rear aprons and my side skirts WRB. Anyone know the web site. And for those of you that have used it, does the paint match real good.
Thanks
Ryan

main problem would be that your color is never the same as someone elses. there are variables to every color

exactly, best thing to do is go down to your local bodyshop jobber and have them mix according to the paint code then adjust to your color, some places even have photospectromiters (however you spell it) but they can take pictures off of a couple spots on the car to get a better match, i paint professionally in a body shop full time and no color is ever exact to the formula, always gonna vary, your car could have been one of the first 300 cars sprayed in white after running a line of blue cars so there will be a minor tint difference, your lucky if its a metallic or pearlescent color cause you can get away with being off alot more than a guy with a solid color, but personally i wouldnt order from the internet, you would have the same luck going down to advance auto or pep boys and picking up some duplicolor spray cans of the paint code, hopefully that helps, just my 2 cents

Off-topic - Where do you work? I have a set of sideskirts that are hurting for a paint job and I'd be interested in staying local... Also a front bumper, but that'll come later, ha.
