Default Looking for MY touch up

I have seen these threads before. I am looking for MY touch up paint. I know the dealer sells a spray can. They wanted $13+tax for a 5 oz. can from my local dealer. Is that too much? Could Gene Culley or Dennis @ Fichtner Chevrolet give me a better deal or is that a standard price?

Also, how well does it match the MY? Is the factory spray can the best choice or does someone make a better match?

Thanks.

I ordered the Millenium yellow in the spray can from GM and it did NOt match. I had to take my front vumper plate cover to the body shop to paint.

HI I got my touch up paint at Corvette Central, mine was pewter in the small tube with the little brush, the match was quite good. Hope this helps. Paul Waltham MA

I might e-mail them thanks. I definitely need a spray can, as I have a small (big) spot on my bumper that I sanded and filled. I know it won't match and won't even look good, but it will be closer than a spray can off the shelf until I can afford a new bumper.
