Re: painting shells
Get your paint code from sticker on door jam. Get paint, reducer, and clear. Prep shell, lightly sand and tape off windows. Shoot color and clear coat.

Re: painting shells
It's really hard to get an even coat on such a large area with rattle can. I was talking about getting the paint from an automotive paint store and shooting it with a spray gun. If you don't have the equipment and want to shoot it with rattle can, do a search online for the paint. I saw a site the other day that offered color match paint in a spray can, don't remember who it was tho.
