How about hooking yourself up w/ Dr. Colorchip? That's perfect for small dings like that. :)

1. I thought that did not work so well with the pearl color? 2. The paint is less than a month old, they will fix it or I will file a chargeback. :tup:

I think it'll be more useful if you do lots of tracking....

Yes, otherwise the adhesive can screw up the clear coat....

Hope they can have it touch-up :icon17:

Just spoke to the guy. They can touch it up but of course there's no clear over the area to protect it. Otherwise I'm looking at having to pay to sand the area down again and fix it. :shakes head:

I really hate this car.

mr.alcheng- hummm.... i just want to rid the latency.

my G has almost no latency even though it's drive by wire... my Z has like 9-10ms.

do you have nail polish? you can use enamel clearcoat once the base coat dries completely. :)

i'd find a local artist that has experience with air brush. he/she can touch up using plastic model paint for cheap.

have them touch it up and put on Ventureshield when it's the right time, it worth the money..

DD'ing a nice car is hard to do when you care about it as much as we do.

ms.pint - you can also buy automotive clearcoat touchup bottles at your local autoparts stores for pretty cheap.

if it's a large area you can get automotive grade clear from places like below in rattle cans, pens, jars, etc.

Touch Up Paint from PaintScratch.com
