Acura touch up paint?

What's the best source for Acura touch up paint? I can't find it on Ebay in the right color, and the Acura e-store doesn't even have it listed.

I am looking for you...not finding it in the usual places either. I got mine from the net back a while ago. Something tells me that shipping paints through the mail can be problematic or something? Maybe they consider it hazardous materials? You local dealer will have em...either way they wont be more than about $12 - $20 or something. I have an OEM WDP color paint pen....and it has two sides...one color...the other clearcoat (which what appears to be some pearl). You use it in a two part system...do one...let it dry...then do the second.

I have a NBP and I took it to an automatic car wash, i know i know stupid, and now i have all these tiny scratches on my A-Spec kit, all by the tires. So my question is, do you guys think I can use the pen for these or get them buffed out or something... I tried "The Scratch Doctor" it didnt help much.

Not sure without pics...but mine has some very small specs right behind the wheels where street stuff gets tossed on there from the tires as I drive over time. They dont show hardly whatsoever on WDP....but I would imagine on NBP that they would show big time....and not really cover or hide with wax like on white. Or are you talking about wholesale damage by those spinning brush thingys that are supposed to clean the tires and wheels?

I guess what I am saying is...maybe it was there before and hidden by dirt and washed clean so now it shows....that or I guess maybe you are talking about brush damage?

Santa Monica Acura sells the little 0.44 oz (13 ml) bottles of touch-up paint for $5 each (I forgot to negotiate a bottle of SSM into the deal). I don't know the cost for larger quantities, if that is what you are seeking.

There's a website called paintscratch.com or something along those lines...I know they carry oem colors for practically every make, I'd bet you could buy touch up paint from there...

what he said....any honda/acura store should be able to get you the paint for less than 6 bucks

You could always check out a body shop. If they're nice and you're lucky, they will give you some touch up paint for free. Just bring your paint code.

I got my touch up paint pen combo from Hall Acura Newport News (Virginia). I was just wondering what to buff it with after it dries. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got my WDP from www.paintscratch.com and its the best touchup I have ever got .. its thin enough to work with ... and 3 parts. I also have the Acura pen and I am glad I got it free because like the rest of the pens I have tried its crap. And near impossible to fill and wetsand ..

Like everything else .. you get what you pay for.

If i had to do it again, I would go with this stuff as well. There was an older thread around here with all this information, I got this site from.
