Touch up paint..

ItaliStang · May 5th, 2008, 02:02 PM

my car has tons of scratches that are just bothering the hell out of me...

will touch up paint be a good idea for some of these (maybe not all but at least a few...)

so is it hard to get it to look good? or does it usually look like shit? And which of these are scratched beyond the help of touch up paint?

here's pics of the worst spots (front bumper has tons of little chips, didn't bother with that...)

my car got egged like that too. i know you can go to autozone and they have touch up paint pens and brushes for every car it cost like six bucks. but you got to be careful and make sure you match up the right color or your car. i did it on my jetta and you cant even tell i did it. just make sure you match up the colors.

yeah, I'm worried about matching it right, because my color is "performance red" (ES paint code) and during the day, it looks red, but at night it looks orange...

If autozone doesn't have the color, a dealer will. It will be a little more expensive, but they were the only one who had the TL for my 03 Silver cobra.
