Has anyone tried this orange paint for the Orange SS/SC?

I've just about given up on trying to find a place that will mix some custom caliper paint.

I found this website and they have some spray which is pretty cheap and they also sell Nightshades as well.

The Orange looks pretty close. If I don't find a place tomorrow, or hear from someone, I'm going to order a can or two.

if your looking for your paint, just go to any dealer and get a few bottles of touchup paint. They should sell it too you, and it will be dead on

I have also found this one on EBAY. It looks even closer.

I emailed them and they told me this " I do believe that your Cobalt has a great deal of metallic in it that is not present in the G2 Orange. I would not expect the color to match exactly but it should be close.."
