I am going to be doing some repainting on my truck (cab corner, bottom of doors, and color matching my tow mirrors) and I was wondering whether I should go with a rattle can or quart of paint code U 177B from sherrwin Williams or go to my local body shop and have them mix up a matched paint. The rattle can of U 177B is only 21$ and I know that the custom mixed paint will be more expensive. so I am leaning towards the paint code rattle can because I think it will be much easier.

I don't know that much truck has really faded that much but I don't want the paint to be noticeably different.

So, Paint code paint, or custom mixed?

But that's what im worried about, if I get the stock paint code of paint it will be like the day it came out of the factory, whereas if I get it custom mixed it will match the paint almost perfectly.
