RE: Where to buy a little touch up paint?
I also have a few little chips that are barely noticible, to all but me. They really get on my nerves but I am kind of scared to fix them and have it look weird. Does it look good once it is finished? I am just scared that the colors will not match or it will have a weird texture and look worse than it did to start...If anybody has done these little touchups PM me or leave a post telling me how it turned out. If I was going to do this, I would go to the dealer to ensure matching paint colors.

Thanks, I'll just stop by the dealer. Does it include a brush and does anyone have a link for a How To for fixing chips etc..
I have on chip on my driver said from pillar right infront of the side view mirror. It looks horrible. I see it every time I walk up to the car and I can't take it anymore. I'm sure it can't look any worse than it already does.

RE: Where to buy a little touch up paint?
I bought a spray kit from these guys for my satin silver car : http://www.paintworldinc.com.
The kit had filler, paint, clear, and some other prep items for around $50. I was trying to fix a bigger patch on the bumper from the previous owner. The kit worked well, but the paint didn't match as good as I would have liked. Looked like a pro job outside of the paint not being a 100% match. I was hoping to paint some other parts to match the factory paint, but I am not using that paint on the car again.
If someone has had luck with another kit for the Satin Silver paint code (TL) please post here. I am probably going to get dealer paint to handle the small chips.
