Default Touch-up Paint

Hey y'all....

Does anybody know where I can get touch-up paint that matches my Suzuka blue exactly? Honda brand would be preferable.

Does Honda carry touch-up paint?

Honda does have touch-up. I think blue is very difficult to get. If Handa Accessories does not have it yet then you better try Japan.

I just called the dealer today about getting some touch up paint for my S. They do carry it and I believe it is the pen style...like the autopen, but am not 100% certain. They did not have it in stock so I have to go in, pay in full and then they will order it...a whooping $12 to order and I have to go in and pay in full...

Handa Charges $4 for the bottle, but the Autosharp pen is more expensive. It is worth it in my book. Somebody did a group buy for the pens. I forget who, but I bought 2 pens from him.

Thanks! Looks like my color isn't coming out until late July.

Has anybody used this before? I was told that it's better just to leave it off because it looks tacky. I had been planning to touch up my little dings caused by rocks.

I also use the Autosharp pen,runs a little over $18.00 and works great because you can control the paint flow which helps with those lumps of paint you get with a brush.

I went to my local body/paint shop, and they have a computerized paint mixer where you just enter the paint code #'s in the screen and it gives the exact mix sequence (paint #'s are inside drivers door jamb). He gave me the GP White paint for free..... I would think that any paint shop could mix it for you, and everybody mixes off the same codes, so it shouldn't matter whether it's Honda brand or not. (mine's in a small 2 oz. bottle). Kevin
