Does anyone know where I could get a bottle of touch-up paint? I have a small scratch on the lower portion of my bumper that I'd like to cover up (it's down to the plastic).

Is this something I'd have to go to the dealer to get?

Thanks.

I went to the dealer when I got a bottle of touch-up paint. That way it's the exact match.

There have been a few threads about touch-up paint. Check the Search function. I think I'm just going to get a bottle from the dealer. At the same time, I might ask them if they would be able to perform the repair. I have a chuck of a ding and a piece on the edge of the door was knowcked off. Perosnally, I believe the door edge was done by the mechanic who was working on my stereo but since I didn't see it (passenger side) until a few months later, I don't think my story would hold up so I never mentioned it.

I actually did, it kept erroring out on me so I thought I'd post even though I figured it would be a redundant thread.

Take a look at this thread. I have used the Chipmender pen with great results.

About $10, maybe $8. Comes with a brush inside the bottle.
