Default Best source for Graphite Touch up paint

Hey everyone!

I was going to touch up a couple of spots on my car today and realized the once nice Mopar Touch Up paint had turned into a gooey mess as it's been sitting for way too long.
So I figured, no big deal and went to the Chrysler dealership close-by. Figured, they can't mess anything up by selling me touch-up paint. Turns out they didn't have any matching paint there and the guy wanted to order it in the computer then told me they are not available anymore through Chrysler and were discontinued. Go figure...another helpful dealership employee!!!!

So, what's the best place to order a Graphite touch up pen for my 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. That should include clear coat I would assume.

Thanks for your help and hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving!

Nick

If I buy the touch up pen from there does that include clearcoat? Sorry I'm no expert on this but I am trying to touch up a few paint chips and used to have the Mopar paint bottle that had the little brush in it but also the touch up pen.
Thanks for helping me find the right one.

After reading some of the feedback on other forums, they seem to think the DR Colorchip kit is still the best at matching/blending in with the OEM colors.

Good luck

FWIW, I purchased the Chrysler touch-up when I bought the car and found it to be lighter than the actual car color. Good luck.

Nick, did you try putting some lacquer thinner in your old touch-up paint bottle?

I actually did try that with no luck. The Florida humidity got to it and there was no rescuing that paint! It was all dried up.

To everyone else. Thanks for the sources of paint. I ordered from Oledoc2u's site and looking forward to receiving the little touch up paint bottle!
Hope it will be the right color.

If I may ask, if it isn't the right color (given the color code) did anyone figure out what will be the right color? (maybe a touch up from another vehicle/brand that matches ours a little better?)

I used rattle cans of Dupli-Color Perfect Match Honda Graphite Grey Metallic (#CBHA0928) to do my windshield surround bits. It's pretty darned close. The metallic sparkles are perhaps a little finer than those in the stock paint and the shade of grey is perhaps just a little off, but the general concensus from folks that have seen my windshield surrounds is that it's close enough.
