Touch up paint!!!!

hello everyone, just a couple of questions, i need to find a good touch up paint for my HHR and also i hate the grey cloth interior, so i would like to find a good quality leather seat covers....do you need to re-done the whole seat or is there a good covers that will just fit? in advance thanks.

somewhere else on here, can't remember exactly where said you can order oem paint from your dealer. they order the exact color for you.

my dad did it for a GM truck before too since he bought tail light covers and had a very specfic colored paint, so he bought some.

look on the inside of the drivers door and get the paint code. Go to your local autobody place give them the paint code and ask them to make you a little container of touch-up paint.

Also if you go to the dealer and give them the last 8 of your vin number they can tell you what color it is also. I just went yesterday and ordered sone spray. They had the touch up in stock but not the spray.

express touch up paint... cans, sticks, bottles plus lots of accessory items for prep and finish... they have always been a perfect match

I think I will be getting some of Dr. Colorchip, the Chick on there is hot.... so anyways I digress. I have the one year one-off purple and at somepoint I will get the car repainted (something different), will try to keep up on it as much as possible till then.

I also have that grey cloth that stains when basic water hits it... so yea, gonna need to keep an eye out for a black leather gut interior and change that whole thing out. So keep your eyes peeled.

Is that what that is ??
Geeze I thought I had some toxic sweat or something. My grey seats are all faded/stained. Right where my legs are from getting in the car after kayaking.

www.paintscratch.com has some matching paints, rather pricey though. I have tried Dr Colorchip and was disappointed with its results. It failed to fill in the chips following the "wipe off". The paint came out of the chips and smeared.
