Default oops= touch up paint,spray?

I had a slight oh sh#t and now need some touch up paint

I have 04 m-yellow and need a good source for a spray touch up paint,

Thanks in advance and the oh pooper scrape is in a spot that I am probably the only one will ever notice(other than another lowered vette brubber or sis) but I think spray would work best

An auto paint store should be able to fix you up, but if not, try www.paintscratch.com.

Advance Auto sells Duplicolor paints and I ust finished painting the areas right inside the front wheel wells using their color and clear coat. Mine is black so pretty easy match and in an area that can't be seen easily. Turned out great! Prep and finish is key as well. Their stuff is pretty foolproof if they have your color.

Good luck!

A prevous Vette was silver metallic, and DupliColor provided a perfect match right out of the can. Available at any auto parts store. (Yellow should be a good match, too.) Good luck.
