how do you find your color code on the car. Of course mine is silver but it is probably a specific silver e.g. like red has fire engine red, etc..

Some makes have their color codes on the door.

 

If I go to the dealership & gave them my paint code could they find this paint for my '95 Cavalier LS Convertible? My '04 Cavalier LS Sport Coupe uses the same Rally Yellow as Cobalt Coupes so no problems there.

 

so i stopped in to the dealer and they said it was $15 a can for my laser blue??!! is he tryin to put in my butt? because i thought it was around $5?

 

$15 is a tad high, IF I remember correctly it should be around $10 or so retail cost.

 

No he is probably right. I think mine was that much. It's because of the new shipping laws after 9/11. Paint is in a separate category.

I painted my fuel rail cover with GM Victory Red. It kind of matches...........

 

Any word on granite blue?

 

ok somebody help PLEASE!!! what is the gm paint... acrylic or something else? i have acrylic laquer clear to put over it but i do not want it to end up being wrong and thinning. thanks

 

hey retard question.. is the yellow stated here is that the rally yellow?? i just don't want to spend 6 bucks on nothingness

 

Check your paint code and you tell us.

 

what about summit white

 

Blue granite on 07 = pace bue metalic? looks like it to me but hey i'm color blind does the code match up?

 

yeah what about summit white?

 

Ok guys as I've said I don't know how many times now CHECK YOUR CARS PAINT CODE AND YOU TELL ME! Geez! Look GM calls the same color like 6 different names sometimes so all you can do is go off the RPO codes located under the trunk carpet on a sticker. It'll have line after line after line of build codes but your looking for the ones I listed in the very fist post. If you match up to whatever color I've listed then thats what GM calls your color.

 

woah wait a min. ur tellin me that i can buy a can that matches my paint, wash where im going to apply, and simply spray it on my car where i have scratches and be done with it??

 

Um.... yeah NO! LOL! Its for touching up small areas like the mirror part thats painted or doing trim type stuff like calipers or detailing under the hood.

For what your describing you need a body shop.

 

damn. i knew it would be too good to be true

 

Is Olympic white the same as summit white?

 

Since I'm just going to go ahead and say in all honesty I'm too lazy to go outside and check my code, I'm just going to pick the most likely of the silver's and hope for the best ;p What the hell it's only for the bowtie/details right?

 

sweet thanks man

 

that paint is a rip off.. theyr charging $6.xx plus they want $10 for shipping.. thats $20 rite there for 5oz.

 

i get mine from the local auto body shop. they get the code and mix up some ppg color match paint and its exactly the same. $15 for a full sized can

 

Dude, i think we have the same car... NICE... Lol except mine doesnt have the fog lights.... darn Lol i know that was way off but everyone, well almost, has the SS or coupes so i thought that was cool

 

awesome! Thanks for the great post

 

I got some free olympic white touch up paint from my dealership when I brought it in to have the broken wheel stud replaced and they somehow managed to put a gash in my drivers side door. The touch up paint was a nice gesture, but I still wish they hadn't been so careless with my car. Owell, guess thats why they say "if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself".

 

I'm lookin into buyin the SS spoiler...its $325 shipped for a color-matched one or roughly $200 for a primered one...am i better of spendin $20 on 2 cans of victory red n 2 cans of clear do ya think?
