Get them to touch it up? Nah! Buy some touch up paint from them and do it your self. Clean off the area that needs to be painted, and apply THIIN THIN coat(s)...building it up as necessary to make it smooth and even with your current paint. Be sure it let it dry really well between coats!

If you tell honda to, they will charge you an arm and a leg!

of course it'll never be exactly the same color, but its so damn close you can't even tell...
touch up paint costs like 6 bucks canadian.... just take your time with it and use an AFTERMARKET brush
lol
the one that comes with it isnt fine enough to do some of the necessary things to make it look better


also depends on the scratch. deep? long?

Use a toothpic. You heard me, a toothpic! It's a lot easier, and the results are better! Whatever you do, don't use the brush that it comes with...it sucks!


Yes, GS-27 works! However, it only works in FINE FINE scratches! Otherwise.....no luck!

Well give him a break dudes...he's new! Plus he got something he doesn't want other people to find out about...I would probably do the same

melga: Just make sure from now on you don't post multiple times in differant boards...generally it doesn't help you any![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
