Touch-up paint?

202 is the correct color.

 

I got a tube of 1F7 Silver at the dealer and it was cheaper at list than that website.

 

I also got my Spectra Blue Mica cheaper at the dealer. Problem will be how to make touch up invisible.

 

Also, consider using a black Sharpie sometimes.

It's not runny or goopy and doesn't require a lot of experience.

Sometimes it's the best thing, especially if the scratch or nick is small.

 

The trick with touch up paint is to apply it very sparingly with a toothpick, applying multiple coats if needed to fill in a deep nick or scratch. The brush that's included in a tube of paint is useless.

 

I like the Sharpie idea. I hope I can find one in Blue Ribbon Metallic.

Agree that a toothpick works well to fill chips with touch up paint in thin coats.

 

Sharpie is a great idea - I have used one on an antique japanese black screen...As for buying the touchup paint tube - while its not expensive - my dealer handed me one when I left. I assumed it was standard

 

Griots also sells a little pack of touchup paint applicators--basically look like a QTip but red stalk and a very, very small paint applicator that picks up paint but does not produce a glob, and you can feather it in in multiple coats. The swab end lets you apply it very sparingly and precisely.

 

I have heard nothing but good reviews about Dr. Color Chip....

 

the touch up paint from toyota has a pen in one side and a brush in the other. it is an exact color match and worked well for me...cost about $8

 

lol @Boo and the sharpie idea.

sometimes dealer touchup paint has been sitting on the shelf for a while, i'm usually weary of dealer paint.
