Most auto parts stores have spary paint to match most factory colours, but I usually go to the local auto body paint supply outlet, they can custom blend any colour you want to match factory, and put it in a nice spray can for you... costs about $22.00 where I go, but it's exact, and quality paint - but I still do a lousy job applying it!

For another source of matching spray paint, check the supplies section in Hemmings Motor News. Any color and type of paint can be found there.
I've had GREAT success with DupliColor spray cans -- my '73 silver-metallic Vette was a perfect match.

I'll check Autozone and Sprawl-Mart.
Autozone did have a great paint section, but now most of that is gone. I don't have any true GM dealers around me either. Hopefully someone will have something.
Thanks!

I have ordered a few cans of LMB. A perfect match, and less than $10/5 oz can.

For some reason, Torch Red Duplicolor #DSGM510 in a spray can is hard to find. Most chain parts stores in my area did not carry. All had in a touch-up bottle but not spray. Duplicor customer service can tell you who they have shipped to in your area. Finally found at a NAPA distributor. Good luck.

it is really hard to find. I tried advance auto, autozone, and napa. they didn't have it, and they coudln't get it. I ordered 3 of them online and later found some at walmart of all places. they have a display of vehicle touch up spray cans, looking through the collection of red's I found a couple of DSGM510's. they had a label on the top unlike all of the other reds. I bought all that they had and the next time I stopped by they had 1-2 more.
