I'm picking up my blue Fit Sport on Friday, and I was wondering if I should get some touch-up paint for rock chips, etc?

How much does a small bottle of the touch-up paint usually cost at a dealer? And if you use it to fix a spot on your car, is it obvious that it's been touched up...or does it look good as new? Just wondering.

Thanks guys!

i got my touch up paint from H and A Accessories dot com - Genuine Factory Honda and Acura Accessories at discount prices. Accessories made by Honda and Acura for your car for $5 (plus shipping). it's all official honda stuff, i've had good luck with my orders from there.

i've gotten several paint chips so far, and the paint has helped. it's noticable if you're looking for it, really. unless you're up close, it's not too bad. though it also depends on how you apply it.

 

I got my paint from the dealer for about $7. As long as you apply it well it should look good.

 

Along these lines, has anyone used those fiberglass pens to clean the dinged or chipped spot before applying the paint? How do you clean the spot before you apply the touch-up?

 

i guess im lucky then...cuz i just went to my dealership n asked my sales person wat can b done about my paint chips n he gave me a bottle of the touch up paint. my advice is to just ask ur sales person b4 u tell them u wana buy it...this can prob save u a few bucks
