We got several rock chips on the HRPT, so my husband went to the dealership yesterday to buy some touch-up paint. They looked it up by his VIN#, and sold him Laser Blue paint.

Someone quite knowledgable about paint had already warned us the paint for the UltraViolet was actually called Laser Blue, but when painted on a piece of white paper this paint looks more like the Corvette's Electron Blue than UltraViolet - it doesn't seem to be purple at all. :confused

Has anyone actually painted something on their UltraViolet with Laser Blue, and did it match??

Thanks!

Chris at All-Out Customs did them - he did a really nice job. He's in Riverview, FL, which would be about a 4 hour drive for you. Here's a link to his website: http://www.all-outcustoms.com/

Wrong Color

Vettegirl, you're right, laser blue is not the correct color. "Ultra-Violet" is known generically by GM as "Radar Blue", code WA 245E. The part number for the correct touch-up kit is: #12371311. Hope this helps . . .

No wonder it looks wrong! Glad we tried it out on paper first.

Thanks so much - I'm printing this out so I make sure I get the right part number this time.

Finally convinced dealer they gave us wrong color. They now agree Radar Blue does exist, and wondered where we got the information that they couldn't get. :lol

Thanks for saving us from an UltraViolet SSR with blue freckles! :seeya

Checked my paint - wrong color

Due to this thread I decided to check my paint that I picked up last Saturday for my redline red and the paint I have is SILVER! :eek Talk about a big difference - that isn't even close. I've called the dealer and they are ordering me some more today. They saw where the mistake was - an error reading the paint chart.
