touch up paint

+1 Honda Dealership touch up paint is always perfect match perfect shine. Especially with silver.

Tried Autobarn silver (cheaper and more) with proper paint code appeared more dull, but close but not perfect.

Well i did mine.... my closest Autobarn couldn't mix paint... So i went to the lesser known Peps Auto Spares :-) they mix paint into a Spray can which is a plus cost me $29.95

Not as glossy as original but you people can decide

A layer of clearcoat would bring up the glossy look.

Not bad mate, Probably should of sanded/bogged the surface before applying paint, this would of gotten rid of the cracked line where the original paint meets the touch up paint. I second the above as a gloss finish will probably only be achieved if a clear coat is applied, but really you can probably buy that in a bottle from supercheap/autobarn as well. I'd probably go for the LEAST amount of gloss finish, as you may find your touch up paint has a much brighter gloss finish than the rest of the car. either way a bit of cut and polish would probably be handy as well.
