Case paint - need a suggestion to match stock

Okay, just a quick update...

The VHT metallic black is a nice match for our (2013 standard) case paint. It's not perfect, if you are totally OCD - but outside of a custom mix, I think it is a solid touch up paint. I tested 11-12 different iron/black/metallic sprays and this one was by far the best. You will not be able see the difference well at all (if you apply it well). If you put it right beside the factory paint, you can see it - but it isn't bad. I needed to coat the edges of some scraped fins and when you paint the whole fin, you really cannot see it well. The finish (surface) isn't a perfect match, but it is really close too. I was worried immediately after I put it on, but after baking onto the case for a few days, and washing a few times, it looks very nice. In very bright, direct sun, you can see a difference, but you have to be really close.

SO, in summary... if you aren't going the route of full custom mix, VHT metallic black is a decent touch up match. You will need to coat the entire area (shadow to shadow) if you want something that is almost unnoticeable.
