Touch up paint.

I'm looking for touch up paint for my 02 TLS.

The only Honda white I can find is Taffeta White. Will blend okay with my WDP?

Good luck with the touch-up paint. I don't know about anyone else, but no matter where I get my touch up paint from it never matches. My car is SSM though, maybe you'll have better luck. There are some procedures for doing a good job with the touch up. I don't remember exactly but you should try doing a bunch of thin coats until it looks good, don't try to do it all in one shot. You might be able to find some better info if you do a search though.

what i did was have a friend at a body shop make me some touch up paint, brushed it on, put a couple layers on so its thick, then wet sanded it with 1500grit and finished off at 2000grit. washed, claybared, buffed wax and sealed the whole car, if u look right at the mark from about a foot, u could see where the old scratch was. my scratch was about 1.5-2ft long and started at 1/8" and ended at 1/4". went all the way to the metal. now cant see it unless u really look at it.
