Paint touch up

I ordered a space blue touch up kit from Tate in January and it is still on back order. Does anyone have any experience with another aftermarket type touch up paint that works well and matches ? The rock dings are getting a bit out of hand

I got my kit in the mail when I was at the Dragon and haven't used it yet but have read good things about it.

Try www.Autovisuals.com. They sell touchup paint pens. Good service.

Have used this on my past car and worked really well. It is used with touch-up paint.

With the lanka system he still needs the touch up paint from the dealer though, so that wouldn't help him

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to give the dealer a bit longer on the paint and then get the lanka system.

Cheers,

Mike
