If it's the one in your avatar, its blue topaz metallic. Also called luxo blue. Paint code GTS i believe. I have same color.

paint codes are usually on a tag in the drivers door sill.

If that's the car in your avatar, it is Blue Topaz Metallic or Luxo blue as ShawnB mentioned. Doing a internet search, there are several codes (depends on the paint provider is suppose). GM paint code is WA933L, Ditzler 6232, PPG 931233, Sherwin Williams 66850

You definitly got the best color available.

Hulty has painted parts of his inferno orange car using rattle cans from a site found in his build page.

I haven't used any of the touch up paint yet but have a few projects in mind where I might get rid of chrome and paint the black plastic fog surrounds in blue topaz metallic.

I plan to do the same, but might get a HVLP and a quart of paint. I have a 12 gallon air compressor, so might try my hand with a real sprayer lol.

Yep thats the car in the avatar. ill try that code and colors. I do have two tags on drivers door jam. neither have anything to do with color. Iv look at all jams and doors , under the hood, in the glove box, in the trunk, just in case.nothing else. Im just looking for a smalll thing of that 3 M stuff in the right color

thank you all for your help Buck

Should be in the spare tire wheel well; you will need to take the tire out to read the label but given the info above you need not go that far.
