Wanting to match my deep cobalt. From the sounds of it, it is a single stage paint. It surprises me that it didn't match. My small nail polish sized touch up is dead on.
Hmmm, one more thing to think about.

I will try my other local paint suppliers and see what they can do prior to ordering from the dealer.

Ended up buying the PPG DBC from the other paint house. Got it for $85.00 (pint). Now all I need is my lowers to arrive. Got an UPS update, should be delivered Monday. So I will pull my inner over the weekend, and get it prepped and primed so I can spray both at the same time.
