Hey my white 99 acura has some scratches and ruin the paint job a little bit...any suggestion of what type of paint to help cover it??? Thanks

touch-up paint. You can get it at most auto-parts stores or from the dealer.

Go to Acura and give them your color code on the door jamb. They'll give you touchup paint for your exact color.

stop being a cheap wuss, and get the whole car resprayed! tsss

Speaking of this. Has anyone got their car fully repainted recently and if so where/how much did it cost.

Dicorp

this is gonna vary widely. i've gotten a dozen of different quotes for a paintjob and they varied widely. search on local forums, ask around.

i got mine repainted last fall, since my car was keyed, it got fully resprayed...
was around 4k IIRC

and OP you need to post pics or describe it a little better, in order for us to judge what you should do

Why bother with either of these things? It's an eleven year old car and neither repair will add any value to your car. I would just get rid of it

maybe someone has some money to throw around.

thats being very positive. what? you spilt coffee in your car then burned it since it wasnt worth the value to clean

dragon084

depends on if he's attached to the car or not.

i don't suggest a paint pen... i'm working on filling in my trunk holes today, and my paint pen was a waste of money. the shit turned to a hard tip after the first test pass

I love the car. I want to keep it for a long time. It only has 60k miles on in 100.000km

its unique, and i plan to keep it for the next 5-6 years.

And for me, having a clean car is a priority.

i paint cars. i repainted my hood front bumper and rear bumper with my same flamenco black and i would not recommend doing it your self. because your gonna get a mis match of colors due to the coloration of the clear coat on the car. if your looking for a quick fix then yeah but i wouldent wanna drive my car knowing thers a blob patch of paint that dont match. this happeneds due to the weather after time. when you paint something new the color and clear would be more colorful compared to the beat up regular paint that already has over 10 yrs.

thats just my opinion. dont kill me now guys lol

if your going to keep it just re paint the whole car its worth it. i paint cars. i repainted my hood front bumper and rear bumper with my same flamenco black and i would not recommend doing it your self. because your gonna get a mis match of colors due to the coloration of the clear coat on the car. if your looking for a quick fix then yeah but i wouldent wanna drive my car knowing thers a blob patch of paint that dont match. this happeneds due to the weather after time. when you paint something new the color and clear would be more colorful compared to the beat up regular paint that already has over 10 yrs.

DJ, you need to have your other surfaces corrected by a quality detailer. Depending on how bad your paint is you can usually get it back to 95%. A quality detail on your non resprayed parts should help bring them closer to new quality so they look better when compared to the new spray.

Also post some pics of what you did.

DjXtC34

no my paint job is perfect, but when your painting areas you need to use ''blend'' its a spray chemical that joins your old paint with your new paint. and then once your done painting you rubbing compound the whole car to even all the paint.

a good price would be 900 - 1500USD for a paint job.. if you paid more, you got ripped.

(assuming your keeping the same color of course and no to minor body work)
