GM touch-up paint? Well it was bound to happen. My mother was backing out of the driveway and came a little too close to my car and scratched up the driver's quarter near the gas door. It doesn't look too bad, hopefully I can just buff it out.
If I can not buff the scratches out (probably won't be able to due to the sand/dirt on the car) where is the best place to get GM touch up paint? Mine you I have mystic teal paint and regular touch up would look like ***.
With that being said, what is the best way to apply the paint to make it look lie there was never a stratch there.

Best matching touch up paint I have found for GMs is right from the dealer. They have a bunch of small bottles at the service desk. Usually between $6-8. I had to touch up a spot on my lower door, I filled the scratch with just enough paint to cover it (used a tooth pick), then I put a blob of clear coat on top and left it for acouple of days to dry, then wet sanded it just a touch to level it, and then used some 3M heavy cut compund and swirl remover by hand. I could have probrably leveled it with some 3M heavy cut instead of the sand paper.
