Repainting my repaired dents...

I'm looking into repainting my door panel and roof which was dented by god knows who and I just had it fixed ghetto style by people in the junkyard. They didn't paint it but the primer is on it. I was thinking about getting the paint from this site:

http://www.paintscratch.com

They seem reputable but pretty expensive for the spray cans. Would R&S, Autozone, Pep Boys, etc, have my OEM paint color? Pebble Beige, CG2...

Oh and before anyone asks... my car is over 105k so it's not worth getting it fixed and painted at the shops... hehehe... was quoted between 600-1000 from several shops and I had it fixed for $270... and they actually did a decent job... will find out for sure once I paint it... I will post pictures up if anyone's interested... I'd like to hear some comments

Yeh, I know that already. But it still beats having the big dents in the car... if anything, i'll probably have it professionally painted but we'll see...

Sand the whole car and bring it to Maaco if your on a budget. As long as you do good prep work, your all set because thats what Maaco lags, besides the quality of hte paint, but they usually paint match
