    Agh - nicked the front bumper on a high curb backing up.

    The bottom fender is scraped now.

    Any luck with touch up paint?

    Aw man, that totally sucks!! My 2012 PIP was Blizzard White, 2 level or whatever paint, and factory touchup from dealer was useless for minor dings etc. (Color wasn't close).A detail man I used "repaired" a significant scrape on the same car; he did a beautiful job, onsite, used 2 paints, and I believe it cost me a couple hundred bucks, might have been more. It was worth it; the repair was invisible.. If you need his number, not sure how best to transmit it to you, and hopefully I can find it again.

    Don't expect it to be in stock.

    I damaged some spots when I de-badged the rear hatch.

    Ordered some touch up, 3 weeks later - the damage can be seen if you look very close, but otherwise unnoticable.

    I've got a Blizzard White Gen 4, and I learned this is a 3 step process: Super White base, Blizzard Pearl (070) on top of that, then clear coat to finish.

    Dealers might not have Blizzard Pearl in stock, but you can get it on Amazon.
