Question Touch Up Paint

Where is the best place to buy Touch up paint for our TL's? Dealer? Paint Manufacturer? If it makes a difference, the car is a White Diamond Pearl color. Thank you!

i've heard that the Acura Paint Pens are pretty good for little touch ups...they have paint on one end tip of the marker and clearcoat on the other end's tip...they're for sale on ebay actually, try searching for "acura paint pen white pearl" or something along those lines...i think its like 16 or 17 bucks shipped...

Recently I've been using a paint pen. I purchased it from H and A Accessories. This paint pen seems to work better at filling chips in the paint mainly due to the way it dispenses the paint. It's not too expensive, you might want to give it a try

You might want to check here: http://www.chipmender.com/ I could not locate your color but maybe you could e-mail them and find out if they have your color

I tried paintscratch.com and the dealer's ABP and the dealers is a much better match.

....

I have WDP and I purchased touch up paint from the dealer. DO NOT BUY IT FROM THE DEALER!!!!!!! I must have sat there and stirred and shaked the touch up paint for about an hour.... No matter what it comes out like water. I've tried several times, same result. It actually bothers me to look at my car where I applied the touch up paint. I'm thinking about gettin my whole bumper repainted for a one inch paint chip.

Try here for ABP paint pen. It works reasonably well.

i bought mines off of ebay after having somebody from these boards recommend it, i must say that i too was pretty disappointed with how it applies...not so much that its a bit watery, but moreso that the white looks like something i could get from a white-out pen...its kind of a bright, chalky white color and stands out against the WDP, i wasnt very impressed...

that being said, its still better than having the black scrape that i used to have and from a distance and at night you probably wont even notice if you werent looking for it, but still it could be better...
