Touch up Paints

I just found out I have a little chip on my PWP 2006 hood. Anybody buy touchup paints elsewhere other than from the dealer? If so where and what do you recommend?

Thanks,

There's a paint pen and there's touch up paint...

The paint pen can be obtained on ebay or handa accessories and the touch up paint you can get from your stealership...

I actually just did some research using the SEARCH button and found exactly what Savio posted. You can buy the paint pen from ebay off of paintpens, who is excellent, which is actually canadian made but a good enough match or the brush canned paint from your dealership. I bought the paint pen from ebay!

Edit: There is also some other brush type paint you can buy from a website that some one i'm sure can post fairly quickly that seems to be popular as well!

I got my CGP from paintscratch.com. They mix the order as it comes in, so you know the paint is fresh. It matched my car dead on...

PWP is hard to match though, so I don't know how well they can match it...

They want $40 for a pen! And that's without shipping. I might as well go to Acura, which is about 50miles away (closest one).. Ebay is not an option as I am not home M-F and often get home late

If you use a brush method I recommend Langka to take the "blob" down. I've used it and it works well. You can hardly tell the area was touched up.

I got mine from the dealer for $8-9. It's actually a dual pen/brush. The color was actually Graphite Pearl, not Carbon Gray Pearl.
