Touch-up Paint

There are a few scratches on my car that I need resolved. Where is the best place to find SW touch up paint (or any GM/Camaro paint for that matter)?

Lol, no rush I'm going to bed now anyway. It's a bit later for me than for you at the moment!

I've seen commercials for Dr. Color Chip... Is that legit?

I went to my local auto paint shop. Gave them my pain code and they matched it perfectly as they have done for me on several cars. Paint code is in the trunk in the drivers side under the carpet.

are some colors easier to touch up than others? looking at new 14, and dealer said crystal red tint harder to touch up as the clear coat is painted. black probably the easiet to touch up.

Scooter I'm pretty confident that Squillo was being sarcastic and you would have found your answer had you typed that question into Google.

What color is SW?

I have a few colors on Ebay, Victory red, sport red tint, Silver metallic, and urban moss, all the black ones sold.

Oh too bad... I just wanted some tips from people who have touched up their car with some product that they would suggest. Can't find that info on Google, right?!

I bought touch up paint @ the dealer but now the paint is to thick as the solvent must have flashed out. Anyone know what I can put into the paint to thin it back out?

I had good luck with Dr Colorchip on a chip. After the repair, I had Xpel installed before I got more. Good luck!
