Default Touch Up Paint

Wondering where I can get touch up paint (Yes, I got the pen from the dealer, looking for the spray kind). I looked online and found one bottle for 25 bucks but that doesn't include shipping, is there anywhere else that I can get it for? A guy at Autozone told me go to an autoshop and they can get a match (or make it themselves) for three cans cheap at 25 bucks. I forgot the auto place's name.

FYI, San Diego around Mira Mesa to East SD area. Thanks in advance!

one is a bottle of paint in a can...would have to be painted on (with a brush)

the other is a spray can....so painted on as it is (like spray paint)


personally, I would go with the spray
should be the easiest to apply and give the most even results (just make sure u mask off what you dont want the paint to hit!)

Cool another San Diegan!..lol

What color is your car??..

The Touch Up Spray paint works decent BUT wont give you an EXACT color match...For example I have Flint Mica color...the touch-up spray paint doesnt match that.

Also depends what part of your car will you be using this on too!

howdy stranger, I have a.. uhh.. Nautical Blue bucket and it's for my bumper that I primed and never colored it. I don't really care what color as along as it very similar. d:

Flint Mica is an awesome color for the lazy (like me) who doesn't like to wash their car.
