Touch up paint

Karen'sToy · 01-24-2011, 05:24 PM

O.K.
Three weeks old and some dillweed door-dinged it! Good thing I didn't see it happen, probably be in jail!
Anyway, I looked at Advance Auto at Dupli-Color and the only thing I found was "Cloud White" for Nissan. Who sells a touch-up pen, ect.? PW.
'scuze me, QAB.

The stealership (dealership) will more than likely sell you touch-up paint. I cannot be 100% sure on this but a phonecall to your local parts department at the nearest nissan dealership will confirm this. When I worked at Honda we sold them in nailpolish bottles as well as paint-pens with a finer tip.

The dealership will be your best bet too because it will be colour coded to your vehicle for an exact (most of the time) match.

It's like $8 from Nissan. Go to a dealership.

Great feed back. Looks like Dr. Color Chip was what I was looking for...
and it was just a scratch, not a dent.(still would like to shoot somebody)

Thanks again,
Carl

Dr. Colorchip uses the factory paint to mix...

Does it just need paint? You said door ding.

Red__Zed · 01-24-2011, 05:43 PM

Several online sites have it. I bought some from the Z store. You might check several of the site vendors for it.

slammiam · 01-24-2011, 05:55 PM

Dr. Colorchip is excellent stuff.

shumby · 01-24-2011, 06:01 PM

you should look up Dr. Color chip. I have used this for my black G37 and FX50 works 500 times better then any pen. gooogle them and what you see in the pictures before and after is exactly how it works. it is worth every penny. i love this product will never buy a pain pen again

Pushing_Tin · 01-24-2011, 11:28 PM

Another vote for Dr. Colorchip, it works very well. I've used it on several different vehicles. Lots of videos on youtube if you want to check it out.

SPOHN · 01-25-2011, 07:14 AM

There's no doubt that you guys highly recommend Dr colorchip. Pretty sure it's great. Wouldn't it be easier to go to the dealer and get some that's also color matched. Especially if it's only 8 bucks. If that's true. Or does the Dr colorchip apply better?

LuckyJinx · 01-25-2011, 03:49 PM

That door ding is nothing compared to the guy who keyed my car, I used drcolorchip. Works a bit but its still deep so i need another few layers of it, but its the best for those situations.

Factory touchup paint doesn't work with the Colorchip process, at least according to Colorchip. The paint that comes with the Colorchip kit is thinner than the factory paint.
My two cents: Colorchip works very well. Took me a little practice to get better results though.
