I rattle canned mine. Most parts stores carry Dupli-Color perfect match. Look up your paint code and you can get the exact matching paint. Something like $7 for 8 ounces.

Here's a link to some pics of how it turned out:

Painted my bay today

I used the patching Dupli-Color clear coat.
As it says in my thread, I didn't really do much for prep, just treated some problem areas.
