Can anyone point me to touch-up paint?
Can anyone point me to touch-up paint?
Other than buying a tube from the dealer, I'm having a hard time finding the small touch-up paint WA721H Salsa. If anyone could point me to a company that makes this, I'd be So grateful!Thanks!

I ordered some touchup paint from a different website, don't remember which one, but the brand name on the paint pen is Color Rite.It does not match the Vibe's Salsa, even though it has the right paint code on the pen. The paint is way too dark. Maybe this other site will be better, let us know. (I also like the body shop idea).

expresspaint.com. Yeah, I think that's the place I ordered the Salsa touch-up paint that doesn't match!

well at this point I need to patch the small chips along the hood edge from stones... and then I'm putting a hood deflector on, so for three or four teeny spots I'm okay with a little darker for now. but I'll definitely post with my results!

You can also try your local body shop supply store and they can also pump it into spray cans. The other way you can also try and it may sound silly is finger nail polish, it's an acrylic base, dry's fast, come's in all sort's of color's and does not cost you an arm and a leg to buy Oh and by the way thay will look at you funny (if your a guy) when paying for it....nuvibe
