Default OEM Paint

Where do I get some torch red paint. I want to do some small parts myself. Is it available in a spray can and is the clear also available in a spray?
Thanks,
Rob

If you want a true match I would take your gas door down to the paint store and allow them to match it on the computer. You can also buy it at the paint store if you give them your paint code it just won't be a perfect match. By using your gas door they can account for fading and other things that would cause the paint to be off a little.

Not sure about the clear, but some of the Chevy dealers in your area may have the colors. If not, you can order from Ken Fichtner Chevrolet who is a Forum dealer:

Give Bob in the Parts Dept at Fichtner Chevy a call - he can set you up with some touch up paint in the spray cans. He may have clear in a spray can also.

Default spray paint

I bought some spray for my MY 01 form the link below for a license plate filler. They have exact matches. Hope this helps.
