Question Correct color of my HHR

I have a little dent in my fender from the previous owner.
My question is on my 2006 LT, What is the Exact 'shade' of blue is it? When I got the car, the dealer had it listed as "Daytona Blue". I Cannot Find a 'touch-up' can of that color. Does Anyone have a Blue HHR, & What color is yours listed as? I Don't want it to start rusting, But Don't Want it to be That much of a difference that it makes it look worse than if I left it be.

Paint code should be listed on the sticker in the glove box... go by that, not a name.

Yeah, Daytona blue is the actual name of the color. Aqua is different. But like Greybeard said, it'll say the code in the glovebox. Might not find it at Walmart or places like that. I would think an Autozone type store would have it. I got mine from the dealer. They have it there for sure.

I am going to check Auto Zone or Advanced Auto (They are less than 1 mile apart on the highway). Thanks Alot!
By the way, would they have small cans or would I need to buy More than I would need?

Daytona Blue is a great color, but it was sold only in 2006, maybe thats why it is hard to find off the shelf. They switched to Blue Flash metallic in 2007.

So do you think I would Have to get it from a 'paint shop' or a Chevy dealer? I don't think the Blue Flash metallic would match, would it? It is a small spot, but big enough to be noticeable & would rust non-the-less. Thank You for the information.
