I'm trying to find out if anyone has had any luck finding touch up paint in a brush bottle without having to order/buy it from a GM dealership. I am specifically looking for Salsa/Medium Red Mica to touch up the paint chips on the 2005 AWD I just bought (we're a two Vibe household now!). I have looked at Autozone and Walmart and neither carry the right color. I would like to buy a bottle locally(first choice), over the internet(second choice), or from a dealership(last resort). Has any found this paint? I really don't want to have to go to a dealership any pay their high markup. Thanks

Have some mixed up at a local paint shop. I have a spray can in my glove box of color matched Salsa from a local automotive paint shop. I'm sure they can make you up a small container of paint for not a large amount of money.

I'm having a tough time sourcing it locally as well. I can't find Neptune anywhere. It's the same paint that GM used quite a bit on their trucks, figured that might give me a chance of finding that but nope... Advance said they could get it but it was a $6 shipping charge.

Gave up and called the dealer with the paint code but they can't look it up that way. I then gave him the part number found on here and he said that paint came up black, not blue... Had to have the VIN to order some which I didn't have on me.

Methinks I need to try the local paint shop as well.

Ended up getting some from the dealer -- around 12 bucks or so for the bottle.

10 business days to get it! GM doesn't even stock the stuff anymore.
