Pewter Touch Up ??
Does GM have the Corvette Pewter touch up paint that matches other models besides Vettes.??
I got a couple chips I'd like to touch up. I want to maybe get the paint from Auto Zone or oReilleys.
Probably a limited stock.. Hoping they got a cross reference for me.

The paint code for pewter is U382E, but keep in mind that is the correct code but depending on the year of the car, the shade of pewter drifts from a silver tone to a more golden color.

to Well I started this not very well worded thread because I was thinking there's likely a few other GM cars with the same hue of pewter that might be easier to find off the rack than a real Corvette color..
OK I have to visit the AZ..I see ebay has some stuff too. I tried that ebay once way back and never received the paint. I want the simplest way one-step process..I don't want to get technical anyway, just dab a couple tiny chips on my strakes.
But great info guys, many kudos
Mine is a '99

I used that stuff from the local stores to paint a headlight cover it was a no go I ended up scraping off the paint 4 times because it didn’t match up. Best way I found is to go to a local shop and ask if they use a camera to match the paint. It might be a bit more expensive but it will match. With oxidation and natural fade it’s a pretty close to a 100% match up if your painting skills are up to par. Our cars require the old paint you know the good stuff with the chems lol.
