raven... paint? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It looks like the side of my car got brushed by a passerby... a bike or something like that, just enough to take some of the paint of the panel.

I want to just cover it up with some touch-up paint. Where can I get the raven paint 'pen' and does anybody know how well the color matches up?

Do you have pictures, I had to do some touch up on a client's Raven but that colour was custom made using a scanner. The matching will really depend on how high up the colour is, I mean if it's on the roof, you'll see the difference. If its on the bottom near the rocker panels then you won't.

Don't have pics and it's raining outside. It's around the rear wheel panel at above knee level, just a couple of straight scratches... .and a couple of paint chps from letting my dad park the car lol

Shouldn't be too hard. Check out this tutorial my friend Richy did, it does involving *sanding and machine polishing so if your not comfortable then please take it to a reputable detailer*.

By the way, don't use the pen for a the actual touch up. Get a piece of clean cardboard or disposable plate. Shake the pen like crazy for 2 minutes, push the tip of the pen into whatever your using to extract the colour and then use a toothpick or a artist brush (1mm diameter) and slowly fill in the scratch.
