Touch up paint?

Post by EliseR » Fri Jul 06, 2007 2:08 pm

Anyone know where I can get touch up paint for my Chrome Orange Elise?

Few stone chips pissing me off, also the boot lid has taken four tiny spots of paint where the lid meets the rim behind the roof :evil:

I have a 1/2 kit of defendall, not full body. May arrange it to cover the car, probably wise.

I got the one from MMC (they order it in)... it comes with a brush. Gotta say that it's the worst touch-up paint I've ever had. So watery and thin, it does not work.... really it just runs right off... Hopefully it was just a 'bad one'.
I have no signature.

I wonder if maybe 1/2 an hour job for a bodyshop then. Get them to touch any stone chips up, then get full defendall installed, then off to Polished Bliss to start the contract...
