some ebay sellers do a good match, but the only way to actually get a great match is to get it made properly. i found that halfords paint was fairly good tbh, never had a problem. the only problem with halford is that they will only list one option of the colour, where as when i got my 4th gen painted there were 3 shades of the same option.

Honda dealers don't do spray cans unfortunately. At least they never did when I worked for them.

A motor factors should be able to mix you some up and hopefully match it better using shade cards.
