Parallel parking, I scuffed my rear fender behind the tire about the size of a quarter. I think I could sand and repaint myself, do you know where I can find touch-up paint? Thanks everyone.

View Full Version : Hot Lava Touch-Up paint? kiss_kiss_kill 10-09-2009, 03:08 PM Best option would be to just go to a body shop & they can mix you a small amount (they shouldn't charge more than $15-$20). I used to do that when my car was blue & used a pinstriping brush. It definitely won't be a PERFECT match though since the Hot Lava's are quite a few yrs old & your original paint is going to be slightly faded. Good luck! rosedaleny806 10-09-2009, 03:36 PM paintscratch.com TRDxD 10-09-2009, 05:35 PM Best option would be to just go to a body shop & they can mix you a small amount (they shouldn't charge more than $15-$20).

Good luck! june/july 08 = quite a few years old? lol paint might be faded yeah, especially in such a low area with contact to kicked up dirt/dust/gravel/etc. but....its barely a year old, if that, and shouldn't be a problem.. rosedaleny806 10-09-2009, 05:37 PM yeahh thats what i was thinking the rs1.0 recently came out what? last year? maybe tina was talking bout the 1st gen xb's that came in that color TRDxD 10-09-2009, 06:12 PM for sure. anyway, touch up paint isn't even expensive from the dealership. but im assuming the question is availability? I'm sure if you have proof (your car...) that you're an RS owner, dealer should be able to get you touch up. (only reason i say that is because i heard scion/toyota is paranoid about releasing RS parts/colors/etc. to non-RS owners) Cathe 10-09-2009, 07:15 PM thanks so much everyone! great info. I'll let you know what I do. TRDxD 10-09-2009, 07:38 PM when you get back to us, let us know about pricing too. I'm sure itll help all the other RS owners out there! good luck! GQQSE13 10-09-2009, 08:54 PM like tina said go to a local shop. i paid like $6 for mine YELOSUB 10-09-2009, 10:18 PM Yea I think I paid like $8 with tax for my Hot Lava touch up paint and you do not need proof that you own a RS series...Took like 4-5 days to get it in... TRDxD 10-09-2009, 10:33 PM ohhh cool. my bad haha i was just speculating. kiss_kiss_kill 10-12-2009, 06:38 AM june/july 08 = quite a few years old? lol paint might be faded yeah, especially in such a low area with contact to kicked up dirt/dust/gravel/etc. but....its barely a year old, if that, and shouldn't be a problem.. lol, I'm sorry...I saw "hot lava" and my brain immediately went to gen 1 xB. TRDxD 10-28-2009, 02:31 AM not a problem :) Crazyhorse6901 10-31-2009, 12:21 AM Having someone with talent use an airbrush is the only way to go... |
