I've used touch up paint in two areas: 1) the lower side of the door where my friend opened it and hit a high curb 2) underneth the right corner of the front bumper where I scraped on a curb. Both jobs blended in well only because it's in areas that are low and hard to see in the first place. I've yet to try them on any of my 2-3 paint chips, but after reading this, I am even more hesitant.
My Touch-up Paint Does Not Match!!!!!! Anyone Else?

DAMMIT!!! What next! If you want to read my pathetic sobb story as to why I needed it in the first place, click below. http://www.is300.net/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=12&t=000050
I had my neighbor down the block touch it up for me, this is his job, bodywork, etc.. So I go to get it and he said "not good touch-up paint" even before I saw it. I should have just left it scratched at least the black from the bumper would not have been showing off my nice little accident!
Now the car says "Hey, look what my stupid owner did to me". Now I will be getting the bodykit sooner than planned.
I want to know if anyone else has had this problem, 'cause now I'm hesitant as to try and touch-up the chips on the hood.
G-D Help Me!!!!!!

well I had myt bumper repainted already since it was hit in the holding lot... the paint matched fine but the painter was not so hot and I had to buff it and wetsand it out... but yes the color is dead on.. maybe you can ask your dealer to make you a quart of paint to use as touch up paint.. then dab it on... get your self some canned clear tape off the areas and apply 2-3 coats of clear and then wetsand and buff after it dries... it should work out good if the color matches..

the clear stuff fills in the scratch or scrape and the colored stuff helps to match the surrounding paint...
