Seabring Silver touch up paint?

Anyone know where I can get some? I looked at Autozone and they had about 6 silvers, none of which were Seabring. The Company that was supposed to fix the scratch that was put in the car is now out of business.... and I have a car show in two weeks.

Sebring Silver...(drop the "a")...it may be called something else as Galaxy Silver Metallic everywhere else at GM is called QuickSilver Metallic on the Corvette (as in my case with my 2001 Corvette)...

I believe you are looking for GM paint code "13"...so it may have a different name but 13 should be your paint code (you may have this on your VIN as well)...

good luck.

GM uses different names for the same color, depending on what line car it is applied to. Quicksilver Metallic (Corvette) is the same as Galaxy Metallic (the rest of the Chevy line) I believe Sebring Silver is a different silver than Quicksilver (Galaxy) take your paint code to any automotive paint supplier or even the nearest GM dealer.....

Aftermarket auto parts stores probably will not have a certain color that has several different OEM names.......ie...AutoZone may have your color, but under a different (more widely used) name. example,they have Galaxy Metallic, but not QuickSilver....(by the label) even though they are the same........

I got mine from the dealer - but then I found a vendor at Bloomington Gold that sold touch up paints. Perfect match and nice size bottle for $10. Send me a PM for the name/phone, etc. as I'm not home now.

Finding the right match for Sebring silver is difficult. I had found a place (Expresspaint.com) that had perfectly matched the paint on several other cars. Unfortunately their silver metallic which is what was supposed to be Sebring silver was not.

I have heard that 1998 Isuzu silver is a match, but I have not tried it yet.

If you do find a match please post it.

Try your dealer - they should be able to order you a bottle of the right color.

I didn't mean for you to think that Sebring Silver was the same as QuickSilver...it is not (QuickSilver replaced Sebring Silver in 2001)...just meant to point out that your paint suppliers (wherever you go) might have it listed under another name...I am pretty sure your paint code is 13...good luck and sorry if I was confusing in my earlier post...
