Touch-up paint for 2009 Yaris

[salan10]

My brand-new 2009 yellow Yaris got dinged and has a 1/4 inch chip in the paint on the rear bumper. My Toyota dealer says that he can't order the touch up paint because it is too new and not yet available through Toyota. He has no idea when it might become available. The three digit code for the paint is 5A6 and is listed as Yellow Jolt. I can find it on one (or more) of the on-line stores that sell touch-up paint. Here's my question: is the paint that is available on line the same color as my car? Also, how long will it take Toyota to come out with a tube of touch-up paint for my car?

Use the search function. There are a lot of threads on touch up paint codes and where you can find them.

here is an example...
Then go to this websight http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ and purchase a can of color matched paint. Lightly spray over a few coats at a time. Once it drys use some rubbing compound and take out any orange peel and overspray. Then hit it with a light coat of duplicolor clear coat spray. Then little more rubbing compound polish and wax.

My 09 was a "new" color as well - Blazing Blue Pearl, as opposed to the prior Blazing Blue Metallic. Touch-up paint wasn't available when I picked up my car in mid-October. The parts guy, from the dealership I bought my Yaris from, called me about a month later and had the new color in stock.

Careful. I mentioned the crummy paint job and was attacked and banned.
