Need touch up paint, NOT spray paint.

So I have some war wounds from the road.
I have a couple chips outta my paint, prolly from rocks or whatever.

Anyway, I need some color matched touch up paint.
I asked at autozone and they said the lil tubes they carry are only guarenteed to be within two shades. That could be 2 shades lighter or 2 shades darker.

I have a black 05 base model.

Wicked thanks for any help.

Yup their sure is!
However I search stuff and READ stuff before I post.
The link you refer to is for rattle cans.

I believe the thread title says I dont want spray paint.

Thanks though.

go to the parts department at the dealer and ask them for color match paint. it helps if you know your paint code, however they can look it up for you.

You can get touchup paint that comes with a brush from your dealer, just tell them the Paint code. Most of the Cobalts colors are not available at Wal-Mart/AutoZone/Etc. the only color i've been able to find is Vic. Red, but that is b/c its a 50yr old color IDK, they might carry black tho

P.S. are you coming to the Columbus, OH meet on the 19th? https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/mid-east-58/official-ohio-spring-meet-april-19th-2008-a-91823/ supposed to have over 75cars!!

I believe the site is paintscratch.com. I got my yellow from there and it matched perfectly! Wasn't too too expensive either.

Yeah just go to the dealer and ask them for a little bottle of paint for your car and they'll probably give it to you for free.

GM (not the dealer) actually sent me a touch up paint pen, some little yellow pad with holes in it, (not sure what it's for), and a bunch of coupons for cheap maintenance, stuff like that.

So, yeah, go to the dealer.
