I have had a very difficult time finding touch up paint to match my carbon grey. I've tried acura brand and a few other premium brands online and have not gotten good results with touch up and Langka sanding. Has anybody found any good matches for the carbon grey paint?

I thought it was my method, but I've since fixed chips on my girlfriend's red non-metallic chevy truck and they're damn near invisible unless you know where they are using the same methods. Thinking it might just be the metallic, I'm probably going to try to hit all of my chips up again and retry with more paint before the langka in the spring, but want to hear other people's experiences.

ive had decent luck with the Auto Sharp paint pen. have you given that a try yet?

KingV

No I have not, I'll give it a try. I've also heard good things about the Paint-scratch.com pen. I just know the acura brand pen seems to be a little too dark.

yeah, i know what you mean. our tsx's touch up paint is useless as far as i'm concerned. who ever mixed up the batch must be colorblind.

if you can find a decent match in a bottle, dont use the brush that comes with it. go to a crafts store and buy the finest(and or smallest) artist brush you can get. then apply the touch up paint with that in layers until it is even with the surface of the surrounding paint. most touch up paint needs to be layered like this to come out even. then you can wet sand the area to a perfect blend.
