Touch up paint

[whattingh]

Good people.
Does anybody know where I can get touch up paint in the Cape. My car, color:'formula white' have a lot of chip marks and want to fix it.

I always buy from the dealer.

Also try a place that does automotive paint. Or even better, call a body shop and ask them to suggest a place for you to get touch up paint from.

Nissan referred me to GK Enterprises and that what to sell me 250g of paint. I don't that much for a few chip marks. Hoped someone might know of a place that sell very small amounts. VW i know sells touch up paint in small bottles, think 50ml.

Dealers should be the best bet. Shouldn't be too pricey as well.

On a side note, I think I should include a funny story regarding touch up paint. When we got the wifes car, they included a bottle of touch up paint. The missus was so excited about her new car, when she came across her bottle of touch paint she squeeled with joy ..... "Ooooooh !! The okes at bm are so fancy they even included MATCHING CUTEX !!!!

I tried to explain but she wasn't convinced that it was for the car. (why was it in a cutex bottle if its not cutex? etc) And if that was not enough, the following day we pick up one of HER mates who see's the touch up paint and says .. . (I kid you not) "WOW ! they gave you MATCHING CUTEX !!! ... I wan't to bang my head against the steering wheel !

Lol nice, matching cutex.
Mine is not cheapest but easiest. I had to wait 2 months to get the paint from BMW Germany because mine is an odd colour, was discontinued 4 years before my car was built.

Thanks people for the ideas. Just got some paint. On my quest someone told me to go ask at Bernie's Coachworks. Got there with no expectations. The man told me I must get a small glass bottle cause they don't have and I can get some, for FREE. Now I have 50ml of touch up paint and all it cost me was 2 trips of petrol. I think it was a bargain.

I would have left her to paint her nails with it
