Default Touch-up

Where and how do I go about getting some touch-up paint? I have a couple minor rock dents on my hood.

your local Scion dealer will be able to get you some touch-up panit for a couple of bucks.

Now, I don't want the places I touch up to look like junk. What is the best way to apply it, or is it impossible to blend them unless you pay a body shop a ton of money to fix it?

the best way i know how to apply touch up paint is with a toothpick. i don't use the brush that comes with the paint because it isn't as precise as a toothpick tip. it is pretty much impossible to blend perfectly with just touch up paint. you would have to go to a body shop. if it is just a small chip, try the toothpick, i have done it many times and you can barely notice it.

The dealer in my area had touch up paint pens that are very easy to use. I have had paint with the brush but i am not an artist and it is pretty difficult to saty within the lines of a scratch. The pen is awsome, see if you can locate it at your dealer.

I bought this product, and is worth every penny!

you have a 50/50 chance with it though.....sometimes it will remove the whole blob of paint...
