C8 Touch Up Paint

[JCWP]

Went on cruise to Bellingham WA corvette show. Unfortunately, I must have scuffed the underside of the rocker on the passengers side and need to get some touch - up paint to repair it. Googled, and found a few USA suppliers: 3 week delivery and crazy shipping costs. Any suggestions?

What color? I’ve gotten touch up paint from my dealer before. Wasn’t terribly expensive at around $30-40.

Is it torch red? That is a very popular colour. Trucks have used it so C.T. might even have it.

It is right long the bottom of the rocker panel ( 36" )- same color as car: red mist metallic. Goggled and ads say better then OEM as doesn't blob up? I am so pissed.

It is a long strip under my passenger rocker. What do you think I need to order to rectify it ? Thanks a lot for your help. I am so pissed - LOL.

Can you show a picture? All depends on how deep the scratch is.

I would have to smooth out with very fine sand paper.

Why not get a body shop to fix it? Should only cost $2-300

Yes definitely...It looks like its scratched down to the primer or even deeper. At this point I would let a body shop to fix this issue.

Look on the bright side - It could have been a whole lot worse.
Body shop, all the way.
Why even try to mess with it yourself when there are professionals out there doing this every day?

Went to Body Shop: would be very expensive because have to take panels off to get the piece off and would not trust the people working there to do the job. Not sure how they would get the piece off to repaint ?
