i just finished touching up a bunch of chips on my hood and fenders. the paint i got was from http://www.touchuppaintonline.com and the paint matched perfectly. i looked around and they had the cheapest price i could find (~$15 shipped)

The mark is miniscule and unnoticeable unless I point it out, but it will bug me forever if I don't fix it. I'm thinking about getting a touch up paint pen and clearcoat pen (probably over kill in this case) from here http://www.automotivetouchup.com/paintpen.asp

Anybody know any place cheaper of better quality?

My wife has this blue nail polish that
looks like grabber blue...

I have been looking for a touch up kit for a while so I decided to price out the places that were listed in this thread. Only two offer a kit. The others just offer paint. Autozone had the least expensive touch up paint.
The first one is from Dr colorchip. It comes with whats listed below. Total cost delivered is 48.00

Basic Touch-Up Paint Kit

Repairs up to a dozen chips
1/2oz custom OEM match paint
1oz SealAct™ blending solution
1 Dr. ColorChip Tandem Paint Brush
1 chemical-resistant glove
Instruction sheet

The second one is Lanka their kit includes\/ total cost delivered is 69.85

The original LANGKA "The Blob Eliminator" (2oz) (enough to do 20-30 chips)
PREPAINT (2oz) for cleaning the chips prior to applying touch up paint
Paint Sealant (2oz) to protect and seal the finished repair
MicroBrush (3) a unique tool for applying touch up paint.
Plastic Squeegie Card (1) a unique card used in this process
Microfibre Cloth (1) for wrapping around the plastic card

At 21.85 difference in price I guess the difference comes down to the lanka kit has twice the amount of product. It also has the prepaint cleaner. I would guess I could use some thinner or mineral spirts for prep if I went with the other kit?? They both seem easy enough to use. I usally mess touch up paint projects. I going to go with the dr color chip kit and I will let you know how it works out.
