Answer 1

Get the paint code and even the paint from a Honda dealer. If you don't want to do that then get the code and then go to an auto paint store like DuPont, or PPG and get the paint. Then you'll need an air compressor and a spray gun.

It might be cheaper to just take it in to a body shop and have them spray the front lip. They also have the paint booth with the controlled air and temp. That may be cheaper than doing it yourself if you don't have the equipment. good luck.

If it is a factory color go to any honda dealership and they can supply you with the paint code. They may even be able to order the paint for you. You can then take the nose and the paint to and decent paint and body shop they can paint it for you. If you are going to paint it yourself I suggest not to unless you have experience painting. But after you get it painted you can remove your old nose and put the new one on. Match up the body lines and you are pretty much done.
