What do you guys use to paint parts on your cars? I have an 08 Crystal Red met. tintcoat and cannot find any spray cans. Dupli-color does not seem to make this color.

I'm using Dr Color Chip. The guys on here have given it good reviews. Here is a link, check the videos on their site.

Dr. Colorchip looks good for the chips...... but I am looking for a rattle can spray that I can use to paint some parts. Thanx for the replies.

I am even a dealer and I don't like the GM touch-up paint as the applicator is really garbage. I order all of my touch-up paint from www.automotivetouchup.com and I am not affiliated with them.

This is definitely the product to go with. I've used them for a while with several cars and all have worked out fantastic.

For touch up to the body panels I use the GM touch up paint. For other things I go to a local automotive paint supply store and order custom mixed aerosol cans of the body color and I use their prepackaged clear coat.
