My Car: 2007 Prius Package: #2 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Re: Where to buy touch up paint I recently noticed bare metal on my hood, probably from flying debris on the highway. It's about about 1/16" in diameter. So I bought a small bottle of 4S2 (driftwood) touch-up paint from my dealer for $8. What do you guys think: Should I have also bought primer and clearcoat from the dealer? Or should I just go to some auto parts store and get some generic brand? Or I don't even need those and I just need to apply the basecoat?  I find it interesting that the parts department didn't suggest those items to make a little more profit.  |

The clearcoat goes on top of the basecoat. |

Did you smooth it out and buff the surface afterwards? If so, how? What is a good way to fill and smooth them so they don't stand out? |

I purchased my touchup paint kit from the link that was posted in the early part of this thread. It comes with 4 bottles for $20.00. When ordering, make sure that you absolutely know your 'Paint Code' for your Prius. | |
