Got a small scratch (curb?)

Does anyone know the paint code for Pewter? I got one of those touch-up bottles at Advanced Auto Parts and it ain't even close!

Why not go to the dealership. Spend 12$ on the touch up paint for your car and be done with it.

It has been my experience that even the gm pewter does not match. There are many variations of this color

Go to www.paintscratch.com and see what they list. Bob at Fichtner Chevy or Gene at gmpartshouse.com should be able to hook you up also, as can your local dealer.

The paint code should be on the sticker inside the glove box. This might help you...

Thanks! I printed that chart and gave it to my painter. He'll hook me up. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I actually got some touch-up paint at Advanced Auto and it wasn't even close!

make sure you go to a very ruputable place. there are like 8 different codes for this paint, and from what i understand, its one of the most difficult colors to match.
