whats the best touch up paint.....im so pissed...my brand new ss hood just got painted like a month ago and now im finding little highway rock dings..****in truckers...where can i find good touch up paint and what brand...thanks

 

I've found that the DupliColor touch-up paint works just fine. They just came out with a new pen-type system vs the previous nail-polish-type brush that you had to use before. The new "pen" is like one of those white-out pens. I prefer this pen system because when I apply the paint it will flow to fill in the chips in the paint. If I were to use a brush it would be more difficult to fill-in a chip without touching the not-chipped part. The pen system is $6-$7 whereas the brush is $4-$5. The downfall of the pen is that you can't touch-up areas under your car (duh) because paint doesn't flow up. By the way, there is a clear-coat you can add that is also made by DupliColor, which I find unnecessary in some applications. I don't doubt that it'll make the touch-up last longer though. Good Luck!

 

Where can I get this Dupli-Color?

 

I got the one from GM... seemed to work fine... plus it'll match your car's color perfectly where duplicolor is probably generic colors

 

WOW..thanks alot guys..ill look for duplicolor and also will check out the dealership for touch up paint (theyll probably want like 50 bucks..ha)(Seal....by GM did you mean the dealership?)

 

yeah, its at the dealership, and its only like 4 bux or something, and will last u a pretty long time

 

Mine are little more severe than small nicks an scratches and I am not up$$$ for a paint job right now.

I am considering trying some of these products here:

Touch up stuff

Anybody here try any of this stuff?

Thanks

I've got a key mark going from my rear quarter all the way to the nose Don't have the money for a paint job and if i take it in on insurance I don't want them to do a touch up on it, i want the whole side(or whole car) repainted. I've seen some touch up jobs that look like crap. Also, what do you think about cut and polish, I've never used the stuff but heard it works quite well.
