Yeah it did match very well, and I think it was a good idea to use the one coat of primer before I painted it with 3 light coats, then I think I did 2 clear coats.
I bet AC Delco has a paint touch up kit for your cars paint, I seen a few different colors..

They have several blue metallic'*, yours looks like an arctic blue, if you know your color code on your VIN you could perfectly match it f they have it..

Only thing that bothers me is since I cut a lot of that old plastic off, you can see the bigger gap under the trim, could be worse though, it was deff worse b4..

Somewhere in the forum a long time ago, I posted the paint number from under the spare tire cover. Cant seem to find it at the moment but it was a version of Adriatic Blue.
Would be nice to have both a spray and GM touch up brush to do mine, if and when I get motivated is another story.

The white tip is used to help rub of any flaky material or whatnot b4 applying the paint.
Then shake tube like a paint can, and remove white tip for the pin point, pin point works great for small areas...
For bigger areas unscrew part pin point is attached to and you have the brush..
Then when paint dries flip it over and you have clear coat on the other side, warning once you open that clear coat in can leak once you close it again, tip store it with black side facing up, and have it in original box standing up..
