Default Best touch up paint

I have an 02 red z28 and I detail on the side And I'm pretty good. so my car has been Pretty much flawless. But last night someone's pet ran out into the street instead of hitting it I swirved slightly thinking I had plenty of room not seeing the mail box I Sideswiped it. I Have three small spots where there is no paint. All the skuf marks buffed right out with my M105. I was wondering if anyone has any experience With touch up kits like dupli colors or paint pens and such. I was wondering what the best would be . Any help would be nice thanks guys.

If you have pics I can take a look but I would use Dupli-Color 2 in 1 touch up paint; has a pen and lil paint brush, it's my lil life saver. They're like 5 bucks at Autozone, they'll have your color.

While on this thread I have a bunch of tiny scratch marks on my spoiler and right rear tail of my car. It's all been cut clean through the paint and clear coat, since I can see black through it. Any chance that touch up paint would work on this too?

Yea it'll work with you too. If it's a bunch of lines, I would tape above the lines and below it so it can be a nice even line.

YIKES!!!! Ya if you want use the 2 in 1 but since the damage is big, you will notice that you touched it up, but would still look better then that. I would've ran the bastard over.

Few years ago with my old Camaro it was the same situation, I was in a side street w/ cars park both sides, it was dark and seen a possum last second in front of me, didn't want to swirve to hit cars so I ran the piece of ugly **** over, fell bad at first but it was my car or him, I chose my car lol.

You might be better off with spot putty.

Than use paint leveler to get it off the existing good areas and to smooth it. Than go ahead with the paint.

you probably need to use spray cans to fix that. this site has it www.touchuppaintonline.com. the spot is too big and will look obvious if you use the small touch up paint bottles.
