Best place to find Victory Red touch-up paint?
I removed the rear bumper nameplate that was on the car when I bought it and noticed a little of the paint under one of the letters was missing. Did not come off while removing so it was hidden behind the letter. I need to find some Victory Red touch-up paint to cover the spot. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Dealer should have it or order it, or any of the online parts houses (but shipping will drive up the cost unless you buy other stuff too).

I've used it on four different color cars/SUV's, including two Corvettes. Perfect match and better than the touchup paint from a dealer.

Gotta be careful with some of the Dupli-Color stuff, as its usually glass hard laquer and easily cracks. Probably best with places like "automotivetouchup.com". It's the real factory stuff, so you'll need to clear coat for gloss. Just check the paint code on the glove box sticker. It's after the bc/cc(base coat/clear coat), and ignore the "U" as just means upper. Add WA to the number and your good. If your car had factory lower accent paint, would also carry an "L" lower paint code.

NG GM 519 Victory Red 74 WA 5476, WA 9260 General Motors(Duplicolor) at Reillys, about $6.00. Saw same stuff at Walmart. Used it on my '09 Z. Dealer charged me $19 for the VY for my '08 coupe and I paid $14 for the Liquid Red at a dealer for my '09 G8GT. Dealer's said Red Hot instead of Liquid Red. All perfect matches. The one from the dealer said you can use clear after 24 hours.

As mentioned, probably just repackaged Dupli-Color hard one part laquer. You asked for some input, and got some. Really not my car, so guess I shouldn't care to much.
