300E Euro Headlight Conversion, question regarding paint.

Installing some Hella euros,

I am very happy with the looks so far, kinda miss the wipers since they have a geeky, neat aspect to them, but I am looking forward to the increase in light output. I am waiting on the 6 prong euro plugs so I can actually turn them on. I got those off ebay, should be here by Wednesday I think.

Right now, the car as it is looks like it is ready for football season with black panels underneath the headlights.

I was wondering how to properly obtain the paint code and where to get it from. Some forum searching led me to Paintscratch.com and TowerPaints.com

I think that my paint code is 441 Impala Metallic

Below are the numbers from the tag at the radiator support area:
9093610 5
124030 12
116466 0
273 412 551 809
841 849 420 588
446 600
00 441 M 491 222
591 241

I think the 441 M stands for Paint Code 441 Metallic. Am I correct?

PaintScratch.com wants $46.15 for a 12.5oz can of the basecoat and 12oz can of the clearcoat shipped. Reasonable?
