Touch up paint codes

I cant find any touch up paint to match my car color (code:74/8748) and the dealership says they cant get any and another dealership never emailed me back. So I went to Advance Auto parts and their website lists a bunch of touch up paint from GM for the Camaro. Which one of these touch up paints would best match my paint code?

Re: Touch up paint codes

If you go to your local Napa Auto Parts someone there should be able to help you. THey have a book where you can Find out which code is specific for your vehicle

Find out the exact name of your code from this website

Go here...

http://www.paintscratch.com

From there, search here by name or code

Your code comes up as Flame Red Metallic Clearcoat, and only for Corvette in 1987, however, it was for all Chevrolet models in 1986 and 1988.
