how much would a paint touch up cost??
I'm thinking about selling the car and going for a 4v () but I have probably 10 chips/scratches on the body just from road debris that I want to take care of. If I'm going to sell the car I don't want to spend a fortune on this but I think it will improve the value more than the cost of the touch up itself. But then again I don't know for sure.
I was thinking $100-$150.. what do you guys think it would cost me?

Dude, if you pay $150, you are getting raped. We make touchup all the time for $15-$20 a bottle., which is a couple bucks more than it costs us to make it. Any body shop that makes its own paint can do it. We have a system where we input how much we need and it tells us the formula. You apply it yourself. Call around to some local body shops and ask.
Also, in case you have never used touch up, you want to fill in the chip, not paint it. Just put a dab on the end of the brush and put it on the chip, do not brush it in, it will make it look funky.

Well I was thinking that price for the paint and labor. There is 1 scratch that is about a foot long on my bumper and I would rather pay a little extra to make sure it looks professional. Not much more than $100, though, would I be willing to pay.

After you apply it and let it dry wax and buff the area. No need to spend alot of money on a car your going to sell.
