Default Paint Code - Canary Yellow

Hi Fellas;

I am looking to buy some touch-up paint for my hotrod. I am told that it is 1972 Corvette Canary Yellow. However, I have not been able to find a paint code or that color in 1972. Where can I get some touch-up paint in the paint pen and what is the paint code?

Thanks

There wasn't a Canary Yellow. There are so many different versions of bright yellow for vettes it isn't funny. Best bet is to take your car to an auto paint store. In this area NAPA carries auto finishes.
They will have color chips you can match to your car.
Other option is to take in a removable piece and have them scan it for best match

Thank you for the help. I was told that it is Canary Yellow but as I investigated more and you all just confirmed, there was no Canary Yellow. I will just have a piece scanned as suggested. Thanks again!!
