Touch up paint

Anyone know where to get some? Scraped under my front bumper today.

I have some OEM from the dealer and some I ordered from www.automotivetouchup.com I prefer the latter, and it's cheaper, too.

Do you guys recommend the touch up bottle or the touch up pen? I've got a small mark on my bumper I'd like to hid.

Absolutely get the bottle. Touch up pens are awful, IMO. Hard to do detail work with. With a bottle you can use the brush in the cap or get a tiny art brush for detailed work.

Check Dr. Color Chip, have used in the past and it makes for a virtually invisible repair. You can read about the process on the site but basically you apply the paint, let it set, then buff it smooth with a solvent and pad. Super easy.
