Need the kind that I can just "dab" on. Wheres the best place to get this? Pepboys? The closest one is about 30 miles from me, some hoping to find some other options.

Ya, I think I may go with the spray can method after all...

Do you know where to find my paint code?

Thanks for the help.

duplicolor is good, i have a bunch of those cans. the number is 408, autozone can also look it up. i think the paint code is on the door somewhere, or you can probably look it up with the vin

as long as your ONLY goal is to delay rust from a rock chip or scratch... touchup is good... but it will not match.. especially since its pewter. any automotive paint store can mix up a little color for you if you cant find it at one of the big parts stores
