Touch up paint?
I havea 03 anthracite CL, and I wanted to ask folks here where to get the best touch up paint for a couple small paint chips near the wheel and front hood areas. Have any brand recommendations?
thanks,
andy

Yup, touch up paint does not look good. I've tried white, black and both = no good.

Touch up paint takes time, beer, and a steady hand to look good. Unless the chip is huge, NEVER use the brush. Use a tooth pick instead. Oh, and you can get your exact color at the dealer. I got mine for free. They even had to special order it for me and I still got it for free.

I'm in Boston, so my concern is less how it looks but more about having the chip rust and spread. Folks in the NE know what I'm talkin about...

I used Langka with great success. Used Duplicolor in satin silver. The factory touch-up did not work well for me and Honda/Acura touch-up paint does not work well with Langka. The factory stuff does not dry fast enough for Langka to work properly.
