Blue,

I bought from them about 6 months ago for my 2011 Cyber Grey 2LT.

I did not purchase the spray but the small bottle brush.
I got the paint, primer, prep solvent and clear coat.
I also bought some of the small brush like applicators.

The paint match was way off. Way to light. Did not let that stop me as I had everything prepped and I figured maybe it would come closer as it dried.
No such luck.
I shook the bottle for about 3-4 minutes before each application.

I was going to call and tell them but shortly after I did the touch up I decided to sell that car.

I wonder who is packaging the GM product ??

I did my first Mocha Metallic with GM brush on paint and it matched perfect.

Maybe the rattler can app. is a closer match.

I can only attest to my experience, the IBM was a perfect match to our 2007 HHR LS
I purchased paint to respray the quarter panels on Sweetie 's 2003 Sunfire in Arrival blue, again a perfect match
Now just the spray paint is not the finish you have to clear coat also, then I cut and buffed to a brilliant shine!

thanks

Hi.... again, thanks for doing the research for me... I attached a photo of a 2007 car that is identical for mine on Craigs.... there is a 2008 for sale that appears to be the same color as well.... I will look for the code and should know it automatically because I did buy a bottle of touch up paint and just checked ebay for the order... it was WA817K / U817K SPORT RED and it was not a very good match.... but if we keep the car, I do plan on having some paintless dent removal and a new paint job... the hood on these cars also are pretty vulnerable to rock chips.... I bet over the last two years, I looked for carpeting for that car and it always came back to "go to a junk yard".... I did get a perfect match on the rattle can for some sport mirrors..... but then I repainted just the top of my son's truck and went back to the same outfit and it wasn't close.... I found out later that the primer ALSO has to match the original paint job...... but again.... 140,000 miles means I am not going to throw a lot of money at this car.... thanks again for all the suggestions and links... they are all appreciated....
