Where to get color matched spray paint - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I recently bought a strut tower brace and would like to paint the ends as well as the engine cover to match my car. Where is the best place to but color matched paint in a spray can? I have a 2013 Blue Ray Metallic.

I got a can of crystal red from automotive touch up, they also have clear coat
automotivetouchup.com

Seemed cheap, good product

I took my paint code to NAPA and they mixed it up and put it in a rattle can.

Duplicolor has crappy quality sprayers in my experience.
I've had it lose pressure when the can is still full before also so it won't spray at all

Autozone has small cans, and a limited selection. Plus the paint sits on the shelves there for years.

This too, I was not fond of them, I only use it when Im in a rush, and never on something that needs to match.

Funny, had no clue they were there. Glad I accidentally supported a local business

Where the heck is the paint code on the 2015's? On the internet Bright Yellow is listed as G7D touch up as WA-131X but on atomotivetouchup.com they list that as Lemon Peel. Also I wanted to get a front splitter and I was curious if anyone could recommend a color to match the black grill parts on the front bumper and what kind of clear I would use on both the yellow and the black.

Thanks I guess the codes are correct they must just have the color marked wrong on their site.

Call a local body shop and ask where they buy supplies. Then go there, give them your paint code and they'll mix up a batch and put it in a very nice aerosol can. Usually costs about $15.

No they have a couple of names for the same color.
Tin roof rusted is the same as Red Rock mettallic.
Pull me over red is the same as Red Hot Etc.
I think they tend to use the other names to avoid having to pay a fee to GM, but hey I don't really know

I have used http://www.paintscratch.com. They sell factory matched paint in spray cans.
