is there a specific touch up paint for a black tC? or would i simply be able to run over to some automotive store and pick up any random touch up for a black car

check the paperwork your toyota dealer gave you.. it might have a coupon for a free bottle of touch up paint. I know my came with it. And if you dont' have it.. prolly can go to the dealership and get it..

i went to the dealer to buy one... they didnt have it, so they mailed me one and a clear coat one as well... just got it today... for free..

wow, nice dealer. i paid $6 for mine at a toyota dealer.

don't forget to look up the paint code for your car.

are you guys using the touch up for small chips and things? What I have to do if someone keyed my tc (it seems to be popular in my area)...would touchup be enough?

Maybe. I wouldn't try it myself though. Take it to your dealer or a good body shop. they will do a much better job than you or I can. If it's only in the clearcoat it might be possible for them to buff it out.

I got my touchup paint for the small chips that I already have on my hood. I had to order it from my dealer, but they had it in about a week, and it was only $5.25.

My dealer was nice enough to give me some for free too...

Here's the stuff I got... and used on my paint chip... looks ok...

Glad I dont live in your area. That sucks though. Hope you can get it fixed soon.

Anyone got any good tips on APPLYING touch up paint to small areas? i.e. what's the best protocol? apply, dry overnight, clear coat (a few coats...), then rubbing compound...???
