touch up paint at dealer costs $8 or so. if you're nice they might sell it to you for 6.

Show a LOT of cleavage when you walk into the dealership, they may give you a discount.



EDIT: This will only work if you are a chick. Don't ask...

Ummm... Seriously?

You are going to consciously leave the extra two dollars at home and bring only $6 cash to the dealership?

Take a ten spot, you gotta cover the sales tax!


They probably take debit/credit cards. Just saying...

This kind of paint repair, to become (almost) unnoticeable needs to be 'blended'. This is not something many detailer s can do without lots of practice.

Take it to a bodyshop

i dont' need to show cleavage...just a little sweet talking and being cool ... i've gotten a few discounts, not only at the dealer, but at my local bike shops too. guess it pays to be a girl sometimes.

to OP-for your repair, honestly, take it to a professional and don't cheapen out on a car like the TL, unless you really know what the hell you are doing to fix it.
