Can You buy factory paint? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Where, if anywhere can I buy factory paint for my camaro. I had an atttident earlier today, my fault just being in a hurry I backed into my garage

I have the 45th anniv. edition. On the back bumper and truck lip now have white lines. If you can picture this, above and below the license plate where it kind of stucks out from there about 2 foot each direction about the width of a penny. I would only need a pint of paint to fix it, have paint gun and everything needed, have restored cars before, but I gotta make sure it matches my car.

thanks for your help

They are correct they may not be able to get perfect match with out blending. If the damaged area is not close to the body you may be able to blend it ok.

If you look at the back of your car, it's just above and below the license plate, and the lip on the edge.

You may be able to just buff out most of it with some rubbing compound, I would try that before paint.

mwaller84 · 09-19-2012, 08:40 PM

I think I can buff some out, but not all of it. I just worry about touch up paint not matching

Try the dealer parts department.
