Default Touch up paint ??

Is there any touch up paint that works better than the tube you can buy at your dealers parts dept? Just got my first serious rock chip today :mad

i dont think so.

your dealer parts dept has the exact color/part number.....

the biggest part of repairing the paint chip is NOT mainly the paint.. its minaly your patience in doing the repair procedure correctly and neatly.. there is some advice here on repairing them, follow them and you'll be fine :)

Good LUck.. i hate Rock chips

I have used the GM paint on my dark green Silverado and it matched well. What are the exact problems that you are having? I had to apply 10 coats before I was able to "level" it to the base paint. It took a while, but the results were good.

I've used the GM that comes in the bottle. I now use the kit from the site below. They match your Vette color perfectly and you can choose from a variety of kits.
