Default Touch up paint recommendations

I just have a couple of rust spots under the trunk lid next to the
plate lights. I just want to grind it down and then spray paint the
area. It's under the lid and won't show so it doesn't have to be
perfect but I'd like the color to match as best as possible. Any
inexpensive touch up paint in a spray can you can recommend. My car is
a silver 2000. Thanks.

Default Touch up paint recommendations

If you don't need an exact match--
Go to your friendly auto parts store, and see what shades of "Silver" they
carry. The last time I got into this with silver, it was because Mazdas
silver rim & hubcap paint faded badly. I found that one of the off the shelf
variations gave an almost perfect match. I'd look at Mazda and Ford colors
first. There is also a company or two that will make custom colors in spray
cans--Tower paint is one. I had to use them to get red touchup spray cans
for the Miata non clearcoat early 99 red.
