well today my stupid a$$ cuz scratched my car while puttin a computer in my trunk. and the scratch is deep.... and its noticeable. and do u guys no if toyota sells those touch-up paint bottles for my car? i have the classic silver streak.

 

dealer $5-$8 they might not have the color in stock, they didn't have for me, so it'll take a week or two for it to come in, but ya, they'll have what you need.

 

just in case, mention the paint code, ive had this issue with some dealer not knowing what black cherry is

like for black cherry its 3P2
yours is 1F7

I also have a scratch and my color is black cherry :-)

 

thxs for all ur help. i hope that scratch wont be noticable after i apply the touch up paint.

 

they didnt have 1f7 in stock at the time so they ordered it for me. they just require you to pay for it before they order.

 

^^^ Just found out about these guys...never used them, so I can't say if they're good or not. Looks pretty professional though:

Don't use the brush to apply it...Best results are from carefully and slowly dabbing with the tip of a toothpick. Try to "fill in" the scratch. Don't get out of the edges...sounds like a coloring book, don't it??

 

^^^ Maybe, but that's the best way to do it - haven't changed the toothpick method in 29 years!

 

If the scratch is of any size I use a paper match with the striking end cut off at about a 45 to 60 degree angle to apply the paint. Cut several with a razor blade and have them ready as after about two dabs they need to be replaced.

 

The touch up paint they sell at the dealer is like a pen, it has a metal tip that you press in while squeezing the container,don't squeeze to hard or you might have too much paint on the tip.

 

Mine was not a pen. The dealers may get their paint from different suppliers. The pens are very good but I would not drive across town to get one if other options are closer. I have used a hypodermic needle to put the paing in the scratch. I watched a pro do this by thinning the paint slightly and injecting it in the scratch.
