Touch Up Paint

I am going nuts trying to fine Sunburst Orange Metallic touch up paint. I want the small jar of clear/base mix with the applicator brush. I use this in my airbrush and with a little 3m microfinishing polish i have eliminated chips in my Camaro using this method. Sometimes a littel 2000A grit wet sanding is needed. Anyway i cant find it anywhere local. I assume the dealer can help, but who wants to go to the dealer?? LMAO!

You can definitely get it at the dealership. I have looked around at my local auto stores and turned up nothing. They seem to have a bunch of older GM colors in stock but none of the newer ones that are used on the HHR.

When I ordered my Sunburst Orange they had to get it shipped in from somewhere, but I got in in 5 days.

I just asked my dealer today about sunburst touch up paint. He said a small spray paint can runs for $15, the brush applicator can runs for about $8.

I'd bet PaintScratch.com can get you your color.

Got my paint from them (Majestic Amethyst) to fix the holes the boneheaded dealer drilled in my front bumper...

Was it a good match? I know sometimes it can be off just a small bit.
