I am looking to buy some automotive touch-up paint to fix the numerous paint chips on my Titanium PowerBook, but it's very hard to tell what "shade" is just right. I am looking to find the "color-code" of both shades of "gray". There are tens of shades of grey on shelves and I don't think it's wise to do trial and error on a laptop.

I could not find anything from searching the forums, can anyone with a professional color meter help out?

Can't help with the color meter but how about www.tipaint.com? Might be able to use a kit to match the paint or just use the kit. I have considered touching mine up and having colorware do a complete clearcoat of the unit.

Everyone says TiPaint is a scam though, the complaints are all over the web.
