For the actual color matching paint go to Paintscratch, but for just the clearcoat Plasti-Kote (which is actually really good paint BTW) works great. I use Plasti-Kote primer, color match, and clear when I do stuff (except for my car since they dont have my color). They usually have most colors though or an almost exact-match alternative if you do some hunting. Surely your PepBoys isnt out of clearcoat? How quick did your grille start to chip up? I'm not sure how much longer a body shop job would last (if any). If it were me I'd just sand/re-paint if/when necessary and save the money.
I'm amazed how many people I see that do touchup jobs and dont clearcoat it, then mope around asking why the paint is "faded".
