Default What color is my car?

I've done searches, and I believe that it's Montery Maroon Metallic. However, when I go to buy the Duplicolor touchup paint. I never see Maroon on the list. Just a lot of different red choices.

Does anyone know the actual color or the Duplicolor code for this color.

Thanks

It's called Monterey Maroon Metallic- you were right- here's a pic of the 2000 color chart in the brochure- just happened to have it handy.

If its Monterey Maroon Metallic then the paint code is 408G. Check your door code just to be 100% sure. Here's a picture of my Monterey Maroon Metallic 01 Camaro.

Yes.. my code in the door is 408G.. Why doesn't the Duplicolor page show this in the list of GM Colors?

Not sure, what are you trying to do - I may be able to suggest another place other than duplicolor.

I'm having the front bumper painted because of all of the rock chips and crap.

I have a chip on the hood and few other places that could use a little touchup paint, but I can't find the damn Montery Maroon Metallic anywhere.

Do you know where I can get touchup paint for this color?

Thanks

Goto a dealership and purchase it from the parts counter for paint code 408G.
Or here's another alternative, they can mix up a basecoat for aerosol or touch-up but I think you have to clear coat it :

Here is some info on getting rid of the scratches and rock chips:

This is mostly for rock chips, scratches are more difficult.
Please be careful not to sand through the paint.
