Is touch-up paint in a spray can still available from the dealers? I have a part number (04889773AA), but since my dealer is closed today, thought I'd waste everyone's time here ;-).

If the dealer is not the best option in this case, who or where is?

Thanks in advance!

John: Don't bother, the touch-up paint does not match well.

You are better off getting the paint at your local automotive paint supplier store or body shop. Just give them the paint code number found on the drivers side door frame information plate.

Saw the paint/body shop did the above thing this week when we were having something painted...they created the sample paint for us very quickly based on the color code.

John, dealers have the spray cans of most colors. Candy Red was never put up in spray cans. Mulholland, yellow, silver, orange, black, not sure on gold, purple and 99red were available at about $10 our cost, $17 regular. Candy does have the small tube/brush only. I have used orange and Mulholland blue and they match very good with base paint on the car. It helps to use clearcoat over the spray in accordane with instructions. Jim

Rick, sound like you are getting them at cost. My parts guru orders the touch up for the used car dept.. I agree the orange is a great match.
