Default Touch-up colors available.

I got a chip through my Xpel, and paint, on the front of my Elkhart Blue driving home from the Museum. Is there any touch up paint available yet?
Thanks, Ralph

I'm sure it's available since this is not the first year GM has used that color...

Edit: I see a Google search brings up a lot of options....

Nothing is going to o stop a sharp edged rock 100 times in a row. On my C7 Z06 which went to 28 states, there were countable over 100 impact marks in my XPEL from just inches away (seen only when I was detailing it), yet all but two were stopped by the film, and important to me the car’s paint from +3’away looked fantastic right until the day until I sold it last year.

It's not a new color. My detailer was able to order some from his usual sources. Paint code WA-625D.

It was the Xpel Ultimate+ film applied by the firm at the NCM race track. They did an excellent job, in my opinion, and according to the local shop I went to to seek advice.

Thanks for the information. I will order some of the touch up paint.

Did you try www.automotivetouchup.com? That's my go-to source for exact match touch up paint, lots of other car enthusiasts use them too.

EDIT, they do have it, see direct link: https://www.automotivetouchup.com/to...2020/corvette/

For Elkhart Blue go by the paint code as the name may be based off another GM car that shares the same color paint but is called something different.

Did you go paint/brush or pen? I need a small RB touchup by my headlight and not sure if the paint or pen would be better.
