Re: aftermarket paint?
If you are just doing touch-up it probably doesn't matter. We just
had our 2003 Accord repaired in the front end, and the body shop had to paint the entire front end 3 times to get the flop right. Another body shop (the one the local Honda dealer uses) said it was because the first one doesn't use OEM paint.

Given the age of the car, I don't think it really matters now--unless of course you want to restore it to showroom condition. :-)

Unless you kept it hermatically sealed, neither will match. My 90 (granite gray metallic) was so faded and the clear coat was peeling that I painted the whole thing with dupont centari to the original color. It matched the inside trunk (not faded) very well.
