Should i...TouchUp paint

Hey guys...a quick question. I was either thinking of doing the touch up paint myself...or should i let Macco do it for me. They charging me around 50-100 bux. I dont know if...if I do it...would it be good or not....but then again i really don't understand how Macco's touchup paint work. What should I do? Oh and its just the rear bumper that need to be fixed. I have numerious scratchs in the back. Scratchs as in chip paint all around the bumper near the license plate. I mean I can always repaint it...but its too pricey..so should I touch it up myself...Macco...or should I really just repaint it?

well how large are the chips/scratches? If its minor, I say do hte touch-up yourself and save some money. However, if they are large chips and such, then go to a professional.

Spend $6 on touch-up paint and do-it-yourself. Maaco will f-up your car.

Where can I get touch-Up paint for less? Is the dealer the only place to get it?

Paintscratch.com sells touch-up paint starting at $14.95+shipping. I don't understand how that is cheaper than the dealership. I bought my touch-up paint at my Acura dealer for $5.47+tax. How well does Paintscratch.com match the factory paint anyways? I'm thinking the closest match to our factory paint would be Honda's own touch-up paint.

You should check out Handa-Accessories.com because they sell Honda touch-up paint for $3.50 each plus several bucks shipping since some Honda Accords use the same color paint as the TL.
