Thanks, was thinking about that. Is the dealership the best place to buy that?

A clean lip man.. Car will look better, and you'll forget it's even there.

@bkblitzed lol

I guess I look into lips before I get touch up paint

It's on the bottom I wouldn't bother fixing it since it will happen again eventually

In that case I think the touch up paint is like less than 20

Is it hard to apply it where it blends in?

I'd definitely stop by Michaels or a hobby shop and pick up some better brushes. Mine is whiteout so I had to use the base and the pearl but you can only see it if you're right up on it.

It doesn't fully blend in especially with something as big as your scratch. But at least it won't be as noticeable. Just try to get a broad brush and use some paint in a wider container or plastic plate so it is smoother

I was doing some digging in the forum after discovering a paint chip from a rock on my fender and came across your post and then this post http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17698

The post doesn't help me but I'm sure it will help you

(I have a tiny chip i'm sure a dot of touch-up paint will do the trick :P)
