Best place to by online for touchup paint

What places have you guys used and experience with paint pens? I need some primer as on of the chips is down to the shiny...(my grill of all things caused this chip taking it off to put my bug shield on!)

Clearcoat needed if in a pretty hidden spot? I used a brand called Chip Mender before for my Matrix and matched pretty well but they went OOB I guess


Golden Teal be a hard color to match for an after market vendor or am I better off going through the dealer? ( they have to order it anyways so online may be quicker)

The dealer may be your best bet.

Let me know if you find a good match! I've looked locally and not had any luck. I don't want to randomly order stuff online, only to find out it doesn't match...

Pep Boys is one of the few places I haven't been (I haven't checked the dealer either )

I've tried Advanced Auto Parts, Oreily's, Wal-mart. I even looked at Michaels (craft store) to see what they had for doing mods.

Nothing even close.

Yikes! Pricey paint pens

I just went to paintscratch to see what it would cost for the paint pen. They recommend a kit including the paint, clearcoat and rubbing compound. It's upwards of $35 after shipping. I just better not ever get any scratches.

I already have a couple I noticed one on the hood and one on the rear left fender. They're very small, but I know they're there
