I have this identical problem with my GT6. Forget about trying to
match your paint "by eye," as it were -- you'll just end up with a
lot of cans of white paint lying around. Get the professional match,
about thirty bucks, plus the paint cost -- or, as
much or less than you'll spend trying to match it yourself (!)
