Touch up paint?

Greetings all,

I was wondering if anyone knew where they could get some 2005 Hyperblue touch up paint. It appears that someone disrespected my MINI while it was parked and didn't even leave any contact info. It looks like the tow hitch or something ran into the bottom of SPOON and took some paint off as well as. Anyway, that black grill part was pushed in completely as well. I was able to reseat it by sliding my hand underneath the bumper and pushing it back in place. That's not really good either because for me to do that they had to have hit it hard enough to push the heat shield above the muffler in a bit.

I didn't discover this until today so SPOON could have been injured for a few days before I even realized it. Does anyone know of any place that sells 2005 Hyperblue touch up paint or maybe would know the cost of the bumper? If I have to resort to replacing the bumper then I'll probably do it myself. Anyone know how hard that would be?

Thanks for any info. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum.

Get the best there is ...

www.autovisuals.com

They make colors per paint code and sell in applicator pens with marker tips for application.

Your dealer will sell you touch-up paint.

I'll cast another vote for www.autovisuals.com. Their match is great and the application pen is a real time (and mess) saver.

dealer

Dealer had the hyperblue in stock for me... I used a toothpick to sparingly apply to a small scratch I had. The brush that is part of the touch up paint kit (which includes clear coat) was too much...
