Re: touch up paint

You can get some at your local chevy dealer...or at an auto parts store..i bought the Duplicolor(the one with the pen end) and it works good.

Re: touch up paint

If you can't find what you want locally try Paintscratch.com. I have the orange decals on my '97 Anniversary Z and I was looking for paint to touch up a couple of bad spots on the stripes. I was able to order "Hugger Orange" from thier 1969 list and got a perfect match. Order came in just a few days. If you don't get an acceptable match you can paint the test card they include, mail it in, and they will test it for accuracy. I highly recommend them.

Re: touch up paint

I actually work at a body shop. Let me give you my personal opinion here:
touch up paint sucks. If you have to do it, get it from the dealership, or go to a local body shop where they can get a closer match to the color of your car. (One red car isnt the same as another red car, they are usually a shade or two off from each other because of variables in the factory.) Dont us the crap at the parts stores.
Just know that in the end, touch-up paint doesnt look good either. It looks like a bunch of bumps all over your car. It's more for protecting the metal underneath from rusting than anything else.

Re: touch up paint

I agree w/ heavymetal. Go to a body shop and they can get you a small thing of paint for touch up that will match your color 99%
