A Chevy dealer? The internet? Many places!

OP - I’m thinking you might want a new profile/user name other than your email...until then, I’ve signed you up for political contribution web sites (from both parties), the midget swingers newsletter and the Furbie club of northern California newsletter. You’re welcome

Watch the Dr. Color Chip video(s) on YouTube or their website and you will buy.

Best reply of the day!!!! I only wished I hadn't been trying to drink my coffee while I bust out laughing at this.

I also suggest dr. color chip. No method is perfect, but the dr color chip deal works really well and its very easy to apply.

I’ve been trying to change my user name as you suggested but I can not figure out how to do that. I thought I emailed the computer tech for this website but to date I have not received any assistance. Can you help me?

Contact one of the Moderators. I'm pretty sure they can help out. Steven Bell among many of the other great and dedicated mods I think helped me change mine years ago. Good luck and let me know if those subscriptions would make good stocking stuffers!

AC Delco has a nice new touch up pen that includes two type of applicators (fine scratches or chips), a rough tip for cleaning, and a clear coat fluid/brush as well. Many GM online vendors provide it as well as Amazon. Just search under the paint code for Shark Gray - G1B / WA400Y.

Another Dr. Colorchip convert here. I tried bottled touchup on my C5, it didn't even match the color. Dr. Colorchip was a perfect match. I have Dr. Colorchip bottle for all my cars.

I used Dr. Colorchip on a former Acura daily driver. It had a bunch of road rash chips in front and I was really impressed with the results considering the color was effectively black with a dark blue metallic flake.

I like how after you dab the paint, you then wipe it with your latex covered finger to smooth it out. The problem with most touch up paint sticks is that the dab of paint is raised and can look almost as bad as the chip unless you go through the entire primer, paint, compound, clear process for a small chip.
