Good Touch Up Paint?

Any recommendations on a good touch up paint? I have a 99 white CL 3.0.

I noticed a few dings 1/8 in. dings near the front grill that are starting to show light rust.

White is an easy color to match. You can get some from the dealer. Griots Garage actually sells some nice tools to do some touchups. I got this mini sanding pen stick. It will remove the rust from a small spot really easily. It much better than sandpaper. Also Griot Garage has these paint swabs for touch up. If you want to go further in touch uping you can wetsand and then compound the panel afterwards. I haven't had the balls to do it myself yet but working up the courage to do it on some test pieces.

Get it from the dealer BODY shop. Ask them to mix you a small bottle of the factory paint they use or left-over paint. Don't bother getting the one from the dealer parts shop. Those are the thick-ass, nail-polish like paint that never ever matches.

My green is very hard to match. Fresh and dealer don't really match either. It kinda sucks. But white and black are easiest to match, but hey, it better than rust.
