Default Source for touch up paint?

I have a 2004 C-5 which is silver. I've checked several websites and no one seems to list the color of my car. There is one site which calls it "Light Tarnished Silver" but they don't actually sell paint. The code is U994L. Does anyone have a source where I can get this color? I'd like to get both a small bottle of touch-up paint and a spray can.

TIA,

Jeff

Did you try the dealer? Last time I checked they could order it.
Also local parts houses carry it for my pewter.

I figured the dealer would be more expensive than an on-line source. Guess maybe I have to reconsider that idea and at least give them a try.

Thanks!

Default Touch-up paint

I bought both the interior and exterior paints from the co. That made them for gm. The company is named sem and you can google them or go to that big auction place we all know and have a love/hate relationship with to get sem paints.

I got a good match at paintscratch.com

Mag Red II is hard to match so I'd say they are good.
