While there are alot of automotive paint shops that can probably custom match
the color quite well I'd wonder if the solvents of the paint could damage the
plastic. Before using, I'd recommend painting a small portion of the bottom first.
I believe there are some NAPA shops that will mix paint for you and put it in a
spray bomb, but they don't do custom matching though. Couldn't hurt to phone
around.
