Touch-up paint
Where do you all get touch-up paint? I saw a victory red paint pen at an auto parts store, but not sure if it will match. Will the dealerships have a true match?

I get mine at a local autobody paint supplier. They match the color code on my cars and mix it while I wait. I usually get it in 2oz bottles.

I was nervous too, but you just gotta go for it. It works exactly the way they say it does. You gotta be trying really hard to screw it up.

I have tried both and I found the Dr Colorchip to be a way better match than the GM touch up paint (for black at least)

Finally used the kit and it works WONDERFULLY!! I couldn't be happier! I had to do the steps a couple of times (the white primer on the yellow is hard to cover in one try) but once I did it twice, you can hardly see wehre the chips were. Caught myself having to 'find' them after a couple of days!
Very impressed and will continue to use! |

Thanks. That's what I needed to hear. I'll be ordering some today for the camaro and our murano also.
