Re: color matched paint - spray/rattle can
few sellers on ebay do that, put in search box your colour code + 'spray can' and you should get some results

It says £29.99 in your link, what was the match like? Sounds a good deal.

It's gone up
Other colours are still £24.99
Strange ?
I only did my PDC sensors, but they look fine.
No idea for a bigger area.

Halfords do colour match paint, and I read somewhere that it’s quite good. I’ve got some to do a few trim bits.

Re: color matched paint - spray/rattle can
Always best to go to a paint supplier, if you are going to do this. As colour matching isn't a paint code mix up...its getting spray out cards and colour chips, even a spectometer to match your cars colour to the panel it is being painted adjacent too. (Oxidination, industrial fallout, uva, uvb, poor inpropper washing all constribute to changing the colour of your panel, the second it leaves the factory)
No two cars/vans are the same colour (exactly anyway)
If your ok with very close colour match then no dramas.
But if you are the type of person that would see metamerism, then i suggest going to a paint shop.
The one near me will charge you £14 +vat for a correctly mix 400ml solvent basecoat.
