Default Qab pearl white 370z touch up?

Hey guys, I recently hit a shred up tire on the highway and it left my front bumper with some surface scratches.

Ive done some research online and I'm getting reviews that are kinda all over the place for different "touch up kits"



I was wondering if there are any of you out there that have used a specific kit to touch up spots on your Pearl White 370z...

Let me know- also if anyone has some lying around they don't use anymore PM me- Ill take it off your hands


MODS- My apologies if this thread is in the wrong place. Wasn't 100% sure where to post it at..

Thanks!!

Usually touch up paint is for rock chips and things of that nature. Post pictures of the damage, but it sounds like you may be better off getting it repaired properly.

My experience with the "Touch up Pens" .... Horrible... Do not recommend using them lol Don't know about too much else... If the abrasions are only on the clear and not deep, might be able to get them buffed out?

Pic is worth a 1000 words.

I've been very happy with Dr. Color Chip system on my pearl white. All my chips have been very minor though. It doesn't blob like a pen or brush. It doesn't exactly fill it in smooth, but there have been times I really had to search to find the chip after I fixed it. I imagine a couple passes and you could get it flush though.
