My local Subie dealers had touch up paint in stock. You just need to know the paint code. They wont be able to cross reference the Scion paint name with their system.
And I've heard that Dr Color Chip is actually pretty good, but Ive never tried it myself.

Ouch, that sucks. I think Mike recommended the Dr. Color Chip on here somewhere though.

The Dr Color Chip video is impressive, but mighty pricey.

Yikes! This is why my car is getting wrapped in blue tape for the ride home. Those mud guards are sounding like a pretty good investment as well...

I got a decent one right along the passenger side of the hood. Fortunately, being right next to the seam draws your attention away from it but I may pick up some WRB touch up paint.

Just offering an alternative over the OEM mudguards, Rallyarmor is also developing mudflaps for the BRZ.
Here are some photos that they have posted up.

I have a few small ones on the front lower bumper. Some of them made more of a brown spot, not sure why and one is black. I only have like 1500mi on it but the roads were really dirty in the spring. I have the OEM mudguards on that the car came with. I have yet to wax the car and i'm hoping that will suffice for protection and just not worry about it. Repaint the front bumper in a couple years then clearbra if I feel it's necessary.
In the mean time some touch up paint is probably the way I'm going to go. With whiteout the chips don't really show very much unless you're really close up to them. |

Just got matching paint from drcolorchip.com for a few chips on a month old car with 2k highway miles. Used it on another car a few years back and it filled chips much better than touch up paint.
