So I was looking at my hood today seeign what the winter months had doen to it and noticed a few small paint chips, and figured I would give this product a try. Worse case scenario is I mess up my hood and have to buy a nice ram one : ) So I go lookign online at the color chart to see what the proper one is for a neptune blue vibe and find out they don't seem to have vibe even listed on their website chart, not a problem I have the paint code from the glove box so try to find it that way, only to not find that listed either. So then I try sending them an email to ask for some help on the subject and I get back a 2 sentence mystic responce that mentiosn somethign about them not makeing color charts. Hard to tell it was written in such a way either soemoen whose native language is not english or their 5 yrs old. So has anyone tried this product and have any suggestions what color might be closest to the neptune blue vibe color? IS the paint acyually a gm paint or is that even toyota and I should try seeing what the matrix paint code is for their blue to see if that is listed on their chart?

I had to hit up the dealer for touch up paint. Just go to the parts counter with the paint code located in the glove box or there is a list somplace on here what paint is what code. The cost wasnt bad. Compareable to Duplicolor or similar generically available paints.

I got the pen/brush tube from the dealer. Think it was about $18 for the paint tube and $15 for the clear coat.

It couldn't have been that good if you remember having a good time I'll take the inflated prices to be able to buy beer 3 years sooner.
