Lowe's does not sell automotive paint man. You need to get the paint code, usually on the drivers door sticker and go to a auto paint supply store. They will then mix up the paint for you. However, the paint will still not be a 100% match, to get it to look right you need to pain the hood and blend the new paint onto the tops of the fenders and bumper cover, then re-clear the entire front clip. This is all best left to a professional.
