What I have done, Jenny, is to have a few spray cans made up in my color to do just the type of projects you are doing. The paint shop should be able to match and make a few cans for you. You could then just scuff the fin with scotchbrite pad or 600 grit and spray it yourself. Maybe even color-sand/buff and polish to get practice if needed. You would then have a couple of cans extra for other projects. I have done this for several of my cars and will with the frs also, about $60 for 4-6 cans. I can see that you aren't afraid to get your hands dirty and the satisfaction of self-customization is great!

Oops, crap forgot you are a pearl color. A bit more difficult on the match, but you may still want to take a look at this avenue.
