Dealership is the LAST place to get it. $$$$$$

Any good auto parts store would have it. I got mine at Walmart.

I have had very good luck with these people.
Three cars and three different manufactures.
I have gotten both the pen and spray from them
Best 59U "bolder gray metallic" I have ever had

I dont see that color in the list
"59U "bolder gray metallic""
2008 Hummer All Models Colors of Touch Up Paint

Unless it is renamed to "Silver Birch Metallic"

So does the auto parts store have like a gmc white or just a generic color that matches your color? I have a white rig if you couldn't guess. thanks man!

That is correct, they changed the name
Check your code on the side of your glove box
It will have the actual code number.
The name is really arbitrary.

That won't have the actual factory code matching paint

For some reason GM has different names for the same color paint depending on what vehicle it is on.
The color on my H3 is "Slate Blue" but the EXACT same color if it's on a H2 is "Stealth Gray Metallic".
I know that your "Birch White" is the same on H2's or H3's but is a totally different name if it's on a Chevy or Caddy.
Add to that the fact that some colors were available only certain years on Hummers but were available anytime on other GM products.

So what I did was go to the store, look up a color in the book, look at the little samples on the rack and picked the one that looked the closest to mine, and it matched perfectly.
