Default Paint Touch Up

I have a 2004 Millenium Yellow Coupe. I just suffered my first stone chip. Who has the best color match for a touch-up stick. GM or an after market supplier.

I have GM's and it is not that great. It is better than nothing. That about sums it up.

Not sure about the MY paint, but for my pewter car, the GM touch up paint matches pretty well.

I had some made up a few months ago and it was not that great because of two factors:
1) my paint on the 01' has faded
2) when I put a drop of clear on the touch up color, it made it darker.
I think I will look into some others.

Go to paintscratch.com

I have a Spiral Grey Metallic 03 coupe. GM touch up didn't match at all.

Found this source on the web and the match was perfect. They have complete kits with paint, clear coat and a fine compound for finishing out the repair.

Great folks, great products, great prices.
