Paintscratch.com just give them your paint code number.
Highly recommended!

I've heard paintscratch.com is good, although they couldn't help me with the Vette's silver wheel paint. I got the WA-EQ9967 Sparkle Silver wheel touch up paint from Eklers. It's a GM part, so the dealers should have it.

I picked up some from my local dealer recently. They offer small tube w/brush or small spray cans. I went with the tube which was cheap at something like 7 bucks, I think the cans were 11 bucks.

Color match was pretty good, but I had to also buy some clear coat which I put on top, makes it look much better.

You may just want to get the paint from the dealer. Probably a little more expensive, but the match is normally pretty good.

Well the paintscratch site has it for $14.95 for the 1/2oz tube, is the dealer more than that?
And for those who got it from the dealer was it stocked or you had to wait for it to be ordered? Thanks to all.

I used it on my old torch red Monte Carlo, And the color match was unbelievable. I'd swear it was like it came out of the original can! Much better match than Duplicolor OR GM!
Besides, I had great communication with them and their guarantee is top notch.
