need spray paint for fog light kit

i just bought a fog light kit for my 2007 honda accord 4dr 4 cylinder from k2motor[ebay] .
i dont like the black housing around the fog light and i would like to buy color matching spray paint for it so that it matches my bumper.
i do not know how to even find the color code [ i just bought the vehicle 2 days ago , and ive been running through this forum 4 hours at a time] .
how do find the color code for my vehicle?
where is the best place / brand to buy spray paint for my vehicle?

i live in NYC so finding stores should not be a problem.

The color code is printed on the door jamb and I think its on the underside of the hood too. I buy Duplicolor touch up spray from Pep Boys. Autozone carries it too. Its not bad as far as automotive touch up paint goes. I don't get any runs, bubbling or spitting cans. You should only paint when its between 60 and 80 degrees F, and when there isn't a lot of humidity. Its best to follow the directions on the can.

take that paint code (or call to verify) to a parts store and they should be able to make a can of paint for you. I know o'riellys auto parts does it and the can costs $17.

I bought my Graphite Pearl Duplicolor at Autozone (2 cans to be safe) - I've only used it to paint the bezels of my retro, but I got 3 coats of base onto each bezel and still have some left in can #1

It costs more to buy a can of spray paint from them (not even including shipping) than it does to purchase from the local parts store.

One spray can was not enough for my front lip.
