Gotta Have It Green SPRAY PAINT

I'm just looking for something close to add some color under the hood (fuse box cover and whatnot). I had great results with krypton for plastics in the past for under hood projects. I know I can get spray from paintscratch.com that is a perfect match but at $51.90 a can its no longer playing in the garage and turns in to a professional paint shop job.
I'm not looking for a three stage paint or two stage as the HD color code shows at my local body shop. Just a little spray and play.

I'd suggest a custom Plastidip + their glossifier. They can mix you a custom color to match, complete with the gold flake mixed in that matches the GHIG flake. Dipyourcar.com...hit them up!

Electric lime green with Gold is what looks like the best bet. Still $50 a can or is that a set of four with three cans of gold too, maybe. But it is now in my head to look in to painting the rims. I'm not seeing a pre mixed option.

I don't think a premixed can will match 100%. They have a custom mix option, which they should be able to match GHIG...

^^THIS!
Do the custom match. You'll pay more, but it's worth it. I mean, it's your car after all. You get what you pay for.

And I'm pretty sure it's not $50 a can either....

I believe their products are rated up to 285*. They've dipped exhaust tips and brake calipers without issue. I'd think the plastic intake wouldn't get any hotter than that...
