My local Wal Mart and Advance Auto Parts Stores do not carry this color. Has anyone found it at another chain ? Thanks

Dave there are two sources.... the dealer, and a company "ON Line" but the cost of their mix is twice the price of the dealer.

I think Forum Sponser Fred Beans had the best price.

You will need your paint code.

I agree with tfredc5...take you paint code in to a auto body supply store and have them mix up a pint of paint and put it in 2 spray bombs and tell them to give you whats left of the pint and take that home to use for brush touch ups. I bought an aftermarket spoiler for my honda and painted it myself and put a clear coat on it. It turned out looking like a professional job with a perfect color match and it was a metallic color too. I also did a couple minor touch ups on my old 87 Roadster and that also turned out looking perfect. Just make sure you cover it with a good clear coat and buff that out with compound and follow up with a wax.
