Cheap touch up paint?

Howdy, I posted here about some scratches I made to my Fit: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ust-paint.html

Now I'm wondering where's a good place to get cheap Storm Silver Metallic paint in the Vancouver area? I checked my local Canadian Tire but they don't have it. Yes, I'm cheap and would rather not get it from the dealership

Just DON'T use the brush that comes with the touch up paint. Go to a hobby store and pick up a small paint brush and use that instead. It will be a lot cleaner and easier to apply to the scratch.

hey should i just patch this up myself or get the dealership to do it

u know how our front plates are held by that plastic bracket from inside the bumper right?

well my dealership drove the top two screws that hold the plate onto the black frame too far in and it dug two deep scratches into my bumper

granted its behind the plate but its THE reason that stopped me from taking my front plate off

and the more i remind myself of it, the more pissed i get

i wonder if i can get them to repaint the whole damn thing since i let them weasle me into the protection package bullsh*t
