Thats a hard color to match. To do a good job it won't be cheap. Have you tried looking at dupli-color spray paints at autozone?

you could use DupliColor code-matched paints, but honestly if you don't want it to look lousy, you need to sand that to metal, give it a light skim coat and sanding, then shoot it with real auto paint, clear coat it, wet sand it, clear it again, then buff it out and polish it.

i was on a site looking at honda color codes and the site says the color is Sage Green Metallic ("clearcoat"?) am i color blind?

or could this have been repainted? although the interior matches the paint job
