Keyed Touch up paint? Someone screwed with my car when at the movies last nite. Just saw it this morning. Doesnt look deep and like most of it will buff out but there are a couple spots where it went down to the metal/primer. Anyone know if there is or where I can maybe find some little touch up pain that may be close to the org. silver on the car?
I bought one of those little bottles that has the brush made in it of white for my old car form like Autozone I think a few years ago and it was almost a completely different color, made it look worse then with it did with the scratch.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

go get the touch up paint from gm. and get the clear coat also. the trick to making the scratch nearly disappear is to apply the base coat with a fine art brush. build it up with 1-3 coats of base. let dry. wetsand lightly . then apply the clear. about 2 coats. let it dry for about 2 days. wetsand and buff out the area. it should be perfect then.

Down the pass. side and then looked like they did swirl marks on the pass. side mirror. Most is not too deep but a few places like on the mirror it went down to the primer/plastic. Sucks cause supposed to do a car show & cruise thing here in town in a couple weeks.

just get you some **do it with the 2500 grit paper like mentioned above** and a rubber squugy, get a spray bottle mixed with soap and water and spray on the area you are going to sand. start sanding with the paper keeping the paper wet. DONT let it dry out the water and soap keeps the paper lubbed and clean. after you've sanded a few strokes, get the aquugy and wip off the water, if there are little dark area's and light areas, it means you still have some high's and lows. keep on doing a few strokes at a time. i know a couple at a time is going to be slow but it's better doing little steps at a time than fkking up and sanding threw your paint. once you do that and have it all even dull just buff it out with the proper compound.
