Haha, I'm with both of you. I guess on my car I could probably use any black touch up, but I didn't want to chance it.
I think it'd be best to go through the dealer, just because you know you'll get an exact match. It can't cost THAT much.

Well my friends mom had a 2003 town and country till she traded it in, and hers was 'inferno red' or something, which was a pretty uncommon color, and it had a small scratch/chip, so we took it to Car Quest or something, and they looked underthe hood and got the exact paint code, and gave us a small bottle of the exact color paint, and it covered it up great.
If i were you ied try that out

I just ordered from them the other day. Hopefully it's a good product.

Next time just go to your local auto shop(auto zone, advance) and dulpi-color(how ever you spell it) has every paint color. But you have to know you paint name before you go some stores though will have a book that tells you. It comes in a ball point pen for small paint chip and also a brush for bigger paint chips. Check it out next time instead of wasting the time at the dealership.
