Does anyone know where to get touch up paint for a 2016 Lunar Silver Civic that will actually match what's from the factory?

The Honda branded touch up paint for Lunar Silver is terrible and doesn't match - seems like a darker silver color. See picture below - and YES that has the Honda paint applied!!

Am I just SOL with this color and trying to find a touchup that will match?

Any suggestions?

Responding to my own post - NICE.

Still unhappy with how touch up turned out. Got some different paint and it's better but still looks terrible on the car.

Is there any option to fix this other than to have the whole quarter panel sprayed and cleared? That seems so extreme for a couple paint chips; however, can't seem to find any better solution to make this look semi decent. I know a lot of people will say just leave it, but I'm anal and it bothers me.

Suggestions...please!

The Dr. Colorchip system works miracles. I'd see if it's available in that color, it very likely is.

Going to try the dr. colorchip. The touchup paint for lunar silver is a pretty poor match though. Official version from Honda.

Found out the hard way not to use a heat gun when deleting badges... :doh:

Dr. ColorChip ordered. Thanks to those who let us know that factory pens DON’T match and that this wonderful product exists.

I shipped some paint while prying off my rear emblem. So mad at myself right now. Gonna try Dr. ColorChip. Does anyone know where I can find the color code for Crystal Black Pearl?

EDIT: It was a simple Google search: NH731P

I have the touch up paint from the dealer and it matches great.
Same here, needed it for my hood. It matched perfect. OP...you sure you got the right color? That looks more like the brushed metal than the Lunar silver.

My lunar silver pen from the dealer was a lighter shade of silver than the car. Wish I'd have read this thread first.

Keep in mind, depending on where your vehicle was manufactured, or where the body or the plastics were painted, no touch up paint will ever match unless you get your car repainted. every car coming out the factory, if you have that keen eye, you can see the bumpers are way off colored to the body. in other words, the plastics. Plastics are usually painted at another plant that uses a different supplier of paint. the formula may be the same but whats in it to make that color may be different. lunar silver doesnt just have silver. theres red and blue. so just be aware of that.
