While my engine is out, I would like to repaint my engine bay but don't want to spend the money to tow the car to a paint shop then pay the $$$ for them to paint it. What is the closest Duplicolor (or other brand) paint that will match up to the Mystic Teal of the car? The stock underhood doesn't really look much like the exterior paint anyways, I assume because of no clear???

There's no clear.

I'd recommend contacting your Chevy dealership and ordering the paint through them. I believe you can get a spray can of it and it should be a more exact match. Check my website if you need to paint code, but the guys in parts department can also get it from your VIN #.

Or better yet, his glovebox.

That takes a lot of effort compared to clicking 3 or 4 times and scrolling

When I was talking to my paint guy about painting my LT1 SS spoiler for my '94 Z28 he asked me what my paint code was and I was like, "One second." then walked to the end of his driveway and opened my glovebox.

My local dealer said that Mystic Teal (via my VIN) in touch up spray is discontinued. So the closest color I can get may have to work. Again, this just the engine bay, not a body panel, so the color doesn't have to be a dead on match, as the factory underhood doesn't even match 100% due to no clear.

If you're going to have the engine and all of the accessories out, I'd just do a nice satin black. If not, I guess you'll just have to buy the closest thing you can find to the dark teal color.

maybe try here http://www.expresspaint.com/ though it is kind of expensive just enter your paint code. i plan on ordering a small can to touch up some exterior blemishes when i get a chance
