you can get some touch up paint from the dealer but most dealers paint in water born paint so the prolly wont sell it to you by the pint

Dealership or paintscratch.com....also having had that color it is a hard color to hide chips once you retouch.....the paint on the car is slightly differnat than the touchup pens....if you do use them,touch it up with the color pen,then touch up with clearcoat pen....till you have a lump and no longer a hole where the chip was,thenlightly sand that with 2000grit,superglue a small piece of sandpaper to a pencil not sharpened and use that to sand the lump down,then rubbing compound and polish and it will last a good year at least.

is the paint off? or does it seem like its just scratches? if there are scratches on top of the layer of paint, you could go a cheaper route and use scratch x, rather than painting over something that you might not need to (learned it the hard way)

yep if you are jsut dealing with scratches,goto Griot's and get their polish kit....trust me the car will not even have swirl marks when done....I won best paint at a show with stock paint....due to the fact it looked perfect after 2 years....and it did too....

We got lots of guys on here that know how to detail and fix paint so jsut let us know....honestly I can help if you need....I like to do what I can to help and it gets me out of the house..
