where can i buy some touch up paint? i got scratches on my door and rear bumper, the scratches are deep enough where the white shows. i guess the white is the primer?

my tc is a 2006 in flint mica. i dont want to buy some cheap half arsed paint. i want the color from the factory but i dont want to take it to the dealership to get repainted because of a few scratches.

any ideas?

The stealership can sell you some touchup paint for about $10 for a small pen/brush container.

i tried getting flint mica touch-up scratch pens from autozone and it didn't come out so good lol

Dealership paint pens work AWESOME. Try it out on something else before your car though, just to make sure you have the "touch" down. It really is simple. Park your car in your garage if you can. BEFORE you touch up the paint - wax (with a cleaner wax, not a polish). Claybar the car after that. THEN do your paint pen. Park the car indoors (atleast 65 degrees or warmer). Let the paint set up, THEN the next day, wax it with a cleaner wax again - THEN apply your polish wax. (I have multple wax applications).

buff it before you try a paint pen. with a paint pen you have to colorsand and shiz.

buffing ftw.

No you dont.. what are you talking about?? I use a paint pen all the time to correct minor imperfections on all my vehicles. Just do what I posted above and youll be money. No colorsand (what the hell is that?) I agree you can try to buff first, but if they are mid to deep scratches, you need paint to fill the damaged area, then a compound to go overtop and blend... So easy a caveman could do it.

I'm notsaying your wrong, but when you touch up paint you fill in the scratch then make basically a scar, then get color sand, ( high high grit sandpaper)

Then buff it, or clay, then wax.

That's how you make it literally disappear. I wanna see some pictures of the scratch to get a exact idea of what's goin on!!!
