2. Touch up paint? What about the clear coat? That's alot of touch up paint.
3. Spray paint color match....sounds like a better idea than the last 2
4. Howbout....you take it to a body shop and have them paint it the color (exact) of your car. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] It'll look the best that way.

tekniq said it cost him $70 to get it painted and color matched. is it just me or is that highway robbery?
