Default Where to get GM paint?

I am looking at painting my fuel rail covers but I am wondering if any of you guys have an idea where to get gm colors to paint match them? Can I just go to a chevy dealership to get it? Thanks for the help!

I painted some wheels one time for a buddy of mine. and we went to the dealership and got the paint match from the code... HOWEVER, it is slightly easier if you know someone that works at a chevy dealership..

Im sure there is someone on this board that works for a dealership that could completly clarify this for you

Go to your local paint supply store and tell them your paint code with VIN number and have them mix what you need (if you are doing the work yourself). If you are not doing the work then take it to a bodyshop and let them get your color code off of the car and let them paint them.

Open your driver door. Look at the RPO code sticker. At the bottom there will be a WA or U plus a number. That's your paint code. Take it to a paint store and say I want x amount of paint, here is my paint code.
