Touched Up Paints - Where should I buy it ?

Postby wasita » Thu Nov 18, 2010 1:05 am

I scratched my sideskirt a week ago. It is not too bad - just lil scratch but I feel sorry for my ride. Anyone knows where can I buy the paint ?
Thanks guys
Cheers

IMO the best way to buy it is from local dealership... i got it for my car for about 15-20 bucks...

@DJDooby: I didn't say I couldn't post but it simply isn't worthwhile cos the savings on touch up paints through us is only A$4-5. Cost of postage would eat it up immediately. Unless you're buying more things, then it would make sense.

What if he works full time and can't make it to a parts/paint store before end of trade.
Plus, postage = convenience!

I do hear what you are saying though

Or another thought.

If you can get a chance, go to anywhere that can mix paint and order 500ml. At least then you will have plenty just in case of a larger repair/touch up is needed.

I have 2ltrs of colour at home for my car!!

You have to consider that sometimes it's better to leave the marks rather than touch it up and make it more obvious.

Take the side skirt off and take it to a crash repairs to fix properly.

Should not cost much if you give it to them as a fill in job.
