Touch-up Paint

Well, after finding a small stone chip here and there, and having a mate accidently throw a stick at my car recently, i thought it's jus about time i got some touch-up paint to fix thoes little blemishes.

Has anyone bought any recently, if so from where?

If its the kind of thing i can get from autobarn or another generic car shop, then great!

Otherwise if the paint type requires it to be brought in from elsewhere, where should i look?

Thanks guys =D

Got some 'multi purpose' stuff that's meant to blend to your colour... but it's not quite right. Looked everywhere, and now I'm tempted to try a Mitsi Dealer!

hmmm, yeah i'm after the actual paint color.

Want it to look good (as good as a touch up job can)

you just need the paint code that is listed in your engine bay.

Get that paint code (and name) and then take it to a car paint specialist place. Super cheap auto and autobahn should be able to help you but depends on who serves you. Otherwise approach a panel beater and ask them for help.

It may be worth getting a pro to do the job for you if you want it to look perfect as there is nothing worse then a dodgy fix it.

I just bought a bottle from mitsu. It is the size of a nail polish container and is matched by the paint code found on your firewall.

I think it was about $12 or so?

cheers =)
