Touch Up Paint Availability

I was just wondering if anyone is having any difficulty finding touch up paint for their Vibes? My Vibe is Shadow colored and my dealer says they don't have the charts for the 2003's. They don't know which paint is the correct match for Shadow. Where have you been buying your touch up and does anyone know any paint numbers? I have a few deep chips, I think two are down to metal. Right now I just have some tape over the chips to protect them from moisture, but I would like to get some paint soon.

Touch up paint is in the dealer's parts book in the 8.800 group.

The color is also part of the VIN number. I got the GMC silver touch up paint (color #13 I think) required for my Vibe.

I have been trying to get touch up paint for my beautiful ENVY colored vibe for months! The dealership has the part number, but is STILL telling me that they are unable to order it for me. Is there ANY dealership that could get this paint for me? Is it for real that they are discontinuing my color? They still list it on the Pontiac webpage...

I just picked up my touch up paint from the dealer today (Salsa) and here said he could get ALL the colors. No problem!

Got mine from the dealer - Satellite. They got the number from my VIN but didn't have it in stock yet. An hour later they called me to come pick it up. PERFECT match!

HEY! I STILL cannot get touch up paint for my Envy Vibe. The paint part number is 12346655 and it's the GM color 46U Sublime Green. The dealer calls GM parts and it is "not yet available". WHO DO I BRIBE TO GET PAINT?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

Try here: http://www.paintscratch.com/If they don't list it on their site, e-mail them because they can probably get it.

The dealer charged $5 for the touch up paint. It was the standard little GM touch up bottle w/brush in the cap.

Try This site http://www.paintscratch.com/. They have a paint stick that works great on small chips and scratches. I'm a real klutz and don't do much of my own maintenance, but I was able to do a touch-up that I have to look really hard to see. They have a stick for the base coat and one for the clear coat.
