SIM = Duplicolor "Switchblade Silver"? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Okay, so I want to paint the ends of my Strut Tower brace the same color as the car, Silver Ice Metallic. Duplicolor doesn't have this as an optional color. Instead, they have "Switchblade Silver". Considering GM wants $30 for "Touch-Up" Paint, I can only imagine what a can of SIM spray would cost me...

So... How close is the Duplicolor Switchblade Silver to the 2013 SIM?

if you check the paint codes on the door tag and compare the two they are the same. GM changes the name of there colors every few years, had a silver 03 grand am and a 2010 silver camaro, when I read the code from the door on the camaro I thought the code sounded familiar, when I checked the old touch up I had for the Grand am it was the same code but different name.
