Does anyone know IF and where I may be able to purchase some touch up paint for my tC, for minor scratches. Living in Miami, its almost inevitable that your car is going to get scratched or bumped while parked. Ive had my tC since mid-June and already I have two bumps and four minor scratches from morons that open their doors without looking in a parking lot. thanks for any help.

 

Just go to your dealer, probably cost ya $8.

 

duplicolor makes some.
i got some super white touch up (spray and bottle) from autozone & kragen.
like $6 each.

look up their part numbers at

I picked mine up from the dealer... best option IMHO...

It's not too expensive... with our paint, it should come with the car!

 

use a buffing compound and apply and buff it should buff away the scratches if they are very minute.

 

a week after i got my tc i scratched the bottom of the bumper and was sooo ____ed. i called my dealer, they asked me what the color was, NB, they did not have it in stock. They had me go out and find the color code on the code. This was saturday. By the next wednesday i got a call. When i went into my dealership i saw the guy who had sold me my car. He was nice enough to put the touch-up paint on his tab and even go out and clean the area and apply it.
It really does look good on light scratchs. I had my brother go and try to find it. He couldn't I wouldnt recommend it if you have long or deep scratchs, or if you have a big area of scratches.

 

any above got a picture of before and after, or maybe just after pics of the car being touched-up?

 

My recommendation goes to the dealer one. I paid like $10 to fix a big ___ dent that i bumped into my bumper, which i kicked out myself, heated to smooth the grooves, then used the touch up paint and no one ever recognizes it nor does anyone notice if they didn't know.

 

got mine for free after my tC came with a small boo boo only i can see

 

My car had a ding on the side of the door when I first got it. I went to the dealership for mine because I wanted the color to match exactly. The paint only cost me $5 and the service department did the rest for me for free. Its looks GREAT!! You cant' even tell.

I have 1 rock clip on the hood, their touch up paint match the color 100%

 

aw, so are you saying that it wont be free from the dealer??
how did i not see that coming =p

 

Moved to M&CC.

 

I think every car should come with a free sample of touch-up paint, because we all know what's going to happen eventually . . .

 

can you buy touch up paint online? like the one the dealership has or anything close.. i need some for minor scratches but i never have time to go out to the dealership to cop a some.

for the ones who used the spray, how do you use that on a little itty bitty minor scratch? i don't think i'm lookin for a spray.. just paint i can dab on a toothpick lol

 

I am going later today to a local Lexus dealership to pick up some touch up Flint Mica. $8.95 for half a fl oz.

 

to add to the minor touch ups convo, does anyone know if that pops-a-dent infomercial thing actually works? I was thinking about getting it and using it on the two bumps I have...or should I just go to a body shop when enough damage from other people's doors has accumalated?

 

I had to order Classic Silver for my tc. I have gotten dent 2inches round and a ding in my door. Took it to this guy at Dentworkz in the town i live in and he totally removed the dent and ding for 90 bucks. You cannot see where they were from any angle. I kept his card in my wallet. Im sure I will help keep him in business.

 

"to add to the minor touch ups convo, does anyone know if that pops-a-dent infomercial thing actually works? "

Depends on the dent. If there are any creases it definitely won't work, if its a smooth gradual dent it can work. Also, it sometimes does more harm than good by doing a number on your paint.

 

We always give our customers a free bottle of touch up
