Default Obtaining Corvette paint

I just purchased a 2000 Navy Blue Metallic Coupe. The car is in excellent condition, but needs to be detailed. Several small scratches could use a touch up with Navy Blue Metallic paint (option code 28U). Any suggestions about where to get some Navy Blue Metallic paint?

You should be able to find the GM touch up paint at almost any Chevy dealer.

BTW, the GM touch up paint comes in either a tube or spray can. Ken Fichtner Chevrolet, A Forum dealer, carries both if you cannot find them at one of your local dealers:

Ordering from Fichtner Chevrolet (1st & 3rd items on page).

Hope this helps.

Your local dealer can get it for you as can a place like Fichtner Chevy or Fred Beans Chevy.

I recently traded in my 2000 NBM coupe. I believe I still have a tube ( bottle ) of touch up in that color. E-mail me your address and I'll send it to you.I'll look in the morning. It's yours if I find it.

I checked and I have it. Send me your address and I'll send it to you.

I got a small bottle from my dealership. I haven't opened it, but I assumed it had a small brush inside!
