Default Touch up Paint

I am looking for touch up paint for my 05 Dakota, it has a few car door dings and bicycle sratches and the usual scratches around the bed. I went to a website I saw on TV called www.drcolorchip.com but they don't have specific colors, they just have "gray" which makes me worry about spending $50 on a gray that doesn't match. The color I have was called "Slate Gray" and naturally I want a match instead of having a splotchy truck. Anyone know where I can get an exact color match? I'm also overseas so I have to find someone that will ship overseas just to make it more difficult.

My wife's 2012 Chrysler 200 already has some scratches I need to fix, anyone know where I can get that too?

Thanks.

Best match is to head to your local dealer with your paint code from the sticker inside the driver's door. After that, local parts store for Duplicolor Perfect Match paint. Still need your paint codes to get the right one.

I've ordered from both of these companies and their color matches are great. Not sure if your color is 'Slate Gray' though, look through their color choices.

Automotivetouchup

Imatchpaint

And here is another site.

Touchuppaintonline

Hopefully one of those sites can ship it to you.

Yes, Imatchpaint.com was awesome. Did my rollpan with their mix and the two-stage clear coat which is body shop quality stuff.

their clearcoat is expensive but I have had many people tell me that they can't tell the parts are rattle canned.

I bought the Dr.Colorchip Touch up in gray matches perfectly best touch up paint I have ever used. Just follow their instructions and it works great.
