Where to buy touch up paint???

Post by GoLowDrew »

Other have said they just buy Toyota parts because cheaper, and easier to find - I could not find an air filter anywhere other than a Toytoa dealership.How about touch up paint? Vibe is made in NUMMI (CA), a different plant than Matrix (Canada?). Are the "Toyota" and "Pontiac" colors the same?

Totally different. Buy your touch-up paint at a GM dealer.

Yep, some are the same but some are different...a tube of touchup paint is only $6 from the GM dealership anyhow so it's worth it to make sure you get the exact same paint.

Thanks for this information that we looking for. We need touch up paints on our Vibe's hood and driver door that have few chips.

Defenitely go to your pontiac dealer. My dealer used the VIN??number to match the appropriate lot of paint for my Abyss Vibe. The color is virtually a perfect match.
