Lots of chipped paint on 2008 Blue HB
A guy at Auto Zone sold me some snow chains that he said would fit, and they didn't really fit properly. Not to mention my car is lowered 2 inches, so there is even less room between the tires and wheel well. I put them on, tightened them up, drove around the parking lot, tightened them again, dove the 1/4 mile and tightened them yet again, then started driving down the highway. Got to 40 (instructions said 45 mph, so I figured I was good) when I heard a very bad "whack-whack-whack" noise on the passenger side front. As I slowed and began to pull off the highway, I heard the same sort of noise on the drivers side, only it was a little louder. Then, as I slowed down even more, now fully on the shoulder, both sides sounded like they exploded. I managed to get the chains off and threw them very angrily on my floor board by my feet. There is almost no paint left on the car next to the wheel wells. And I have several good chips on the front of my car from all the gravel they poured on the highway so the semi's wouldn't hit the cars. So, does anyone know what color the paint is, or what store to buy it at? And I would prefer not to buy it at the dealership, as it is almost $45 per bottle. A little on the expensive side. They sell paint for cars at Walmart, and all the auto stores, but I can't find the car in the books to properly match the paint. It's "Blazing Blue", or something like that. Any help would be much appreciated. I already know how to sand, fill, and level the area that needs to be filled and painted, just need the right color.
