Default Touch up paint?

Where can I find touch up paint for my car? I tried O'Reilly's and they didn't even carry a GM yellow of any kind that I saw. Do I need to go to the dealer for this?

Ecklers carries GM touch up paint with codes to match.

You could also search for places that can match it and create a Spray Can version. My '95 M3 came with one and its been very useful over the years.

I have gone to the Chevy dealer and for $18.00 they have what you need in a spray form ... It took 2 days to get it but was worth the wait ..

I went to NAPA and they mixed me a pint from the code for the car then they have a set up to put it into a spray can!
It cost me $50 but It is so noce to have the factory paint in a spray can! Being lowered 3" I sometimes scrape my TS bumper then go home and sand mask and spray and its all good! Wish I would have know I could have gone to the dealer for $18 !!!

I need it by tomorrow for a car show Saturday!! For some reason my passenger mirror has about 8 rock chips. Looks like a gravel truck dumped on it or something. Anyway they are only small chips and a small bottle with a brush is what I need.

If you have NAPA near you they mix it while you wait and will put it in a spray can if you want

I have used paintscratch for the C5 and my vintage vehicles. Excellent match. They will make the batch of paint just for your order and you know that the paint is fresh. Large or small amounts.

I am thinking OKC is a big city, Why not go to one of your local paint supply's and have them make you up a can or 2? Take them maybe 20 minutes? Seeing you are in a hurry.

I don't know about the NAPA auto parts places there in Oklahoma City but as I said in a prior post The NAPA here made me a spray can of factory paint. I even just called a NAPA in Oklahoma City and they do the same but close in 10 min.
