Can I get some from a hobby shop? They can't have the exact color I need (WDP). Should I just take a trip to the dealer and ask? If anybody has some let me know as well. I have a decent spot on my trunk thats killing me, it like 4 inches wide

touching it up will make you notice more,the paint never matches...no way to factor in sun/weather fading...........I live by the ocean and my car is a very light Anthracite now....I kinda hate the paint match on my mugen spoiler for this reason(too bright/vibrant)

Check eBay, you can probably find an OEM Honda/Acura touch-up paint marker. I got one for like $8-10 for my Laguna Green Metallic paint color.

Yeah, I agree...paint never matches. I have an SSM and I got the tough up paint from a Honda dealer (closest dealer at the time) but regaurdless, it should't matter. It doesn't even come close to matching. I did just recently paint my valve cover and the plastic peice that goes around it. The silver (radiant silver metallic by duplicolor) matches almost perfectly, to my eyes anyway. I don't know if you would want to give that a shot or not, it's a spray can and you might want to use a primer and clear coat if you go that way.

I had some deep scratches on my rear bumper cover and I bought a Duplicolor touch pen, comes with a small brush also. It was Dark Emerald Pearl for a Toyota Camry, but it matched my paint perfectly. It definitely looks better now then it did when you could see deep white scratches. I got it free at autozone because it was a discontinued item.

can you get the pen from the dealer or is it only the brush type?

I agree with people above, touch up paint doesnt fix the problem. With scratches on my car I tried touch up paint but wasnt happy with the end result!! So my other solution is, Im getting a professional touch up!!

For what I know dealers only carry brush.

I have 06 NBP, I noticed that the paint chips very easily even from small rocks. I decided to get a touch up pen from HandA accesories online. The touch up pen works well for nicks out of the paint. I cant even tell that anything had hit the paint afterward unless you get right close and stare. Just remember that if you repaint any part of the body that it imediately reduces the trade in value of your car. If done by a pro this info is stored on a computer for the life of the car for all to see. Go to HandA accesories and get the pen.

they have the pen/brush at pepboys, walmart, autozone or any other place like that. they have any color you need but it says honda not acura. i got it myself in honda nighthawk black and it works fine.

Thanks for the quick replies, i ended up ordering it off ebay- $17 including shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACURA...QQcmdZViewItem

not bad because it has clearcoat on one side and the paint on the other, i know in the direct light its noticeable, but the marks are worse- u have to do a double take to really notice it

I have the exact same pen that i bought from Acura in NGM!! It cost me 12$. Its good, its alot better than touch up with the brush. THis matches the color exactly!! I just didnt use the clear coat side because it tends to smear what you just apllied it onto even when dry. I really cant tell that i did touch up on my car with this paint!!

bkzjimmy

the one i got was only $5

tooth picks work the best for applying the paint. if you slowly build it up and then clear it and lightly wetsand the area and buff it it well all be smooth and blend perfectly together. only you will know where it was

a huge blob will create air pockets that looks ugly when you sand with 2000 or 1500 grid. alittle patience goes a long way
