Summit White touch up paint the same as Olympic White?

I have a long 6 inch scratch on the rear fender from a mishap last night and went to www.automotivetouchup.com I put in the make, model and year, but it comes back with Olympic White. Is this the same color as Summit White? Anybody have experience with touch up paint? How well does it work? I only have 6 inch black line running down the fender. A body shop will kill me to fix it so I am going this route. I guess if I mess it up then I will l let the pros have it.

To answer your question: Olympic & Summit White are the same color.
My local Napa store stocks it.

Have you received an estimate from a good body shop? You might be surprised at the cost to paint and blend in the clear perfect where you could never tell it was damaged. I had a scratch and door ding on my white SUV, the local body shop fixed it perfect to the point of not being able to tell at all for $150.00 in one day.

Ya they are the same! Go buy it direct from the dealer so you have the factory stuff. For the cost of a stick of touch up why go after market.
