If it's big, then take it to a body shop if you want it done right!
If it's small, the dealer has touch up paint that you can apply with a little brush....

Calm down, nothing will ever 100.00% match factory paint.
Why? Because in order to make color, you have to mix a certain % of other colors.
Even if you go to a professional body shop, the paint will never be a 100.00% match to factory paint. Might be 95.00% even if they use Honda paint and light layers of clear coat.
Someone talked about SPRAY CANS that companies will make if you give them your paint code. search for that...
btw, touch-up paint can $2.99..... you get what you paid for!
