Default How about touch up paint?

Am looking for touch up paint for my silverstone. Any recommendations? I've seen some already spray-caned with the paint and the clear and also the good 'ole scratch fix with the ball point pen and the brush. Which is better? Your results?

What say you guys?

Yeah you can buy it at your local dealer for about $10.

Why wouldn't you get OEM paint?

My experience from getting touch up paint from Honda Dealership is that they don't carry a touch up paint for every paint code (even though they might say they do).

They make a generic Silver, Red, Black, Blue, etc etc. It won't match well. i.e I bought one for my 03 Silverstone, it looked too light. For my Silverstone 07 Honda fit, it's a good match.

Your best bet is to go to a paint shop and get them to mix you something. It's best when you get a wing painted or some other body part and get them to give you the excess.
