Touch up paint

paulb369uk

Hi guys
Just bought a celica but want to buy a touch up paint for it ready for the stone chips, my other half also has a civic and want one for this. Does anyone know of any good companies/sites where I can get paint from (that matches)

Thanks

Paul

don't buy the off the shelf one at Halfords. I had a Celica with a small scratch that needed touching up, tried the Halfords one and it looked like i'd tried to paint over a scratch.

buy them from the dealers, with those makes they will be expensive.

Ive had the problem with Halfords ones before - didnt look at all good once I had done it - the colour was terrible - looked better before I started! I would speak to a dealer that deals with the specific sort of car you have

Thanks for all your help guys, I have just popped into my local dealer and they said a touch up pen would be about £7.00 so I think I will just go there. Thanks for all your help

If you wish for an online option paints4u.com are very good.

I've heard wax crayons are good for hiding scratches - they also cost a damn sight less than touch up paint.

If your feeling brave enough to take sand paper to your car you could always try little wet sanding
