touch up paint
I've got a couple chips I want to touch up on my fender and was wondering if anyone has tried the little tubes of touch up paint they sell at Lithia. I thought I've seen some posts about this but couldn't find them. Anyone have have any insight?

I have the PSM silver color, it's pretty dead-on, I've used it on my lower front bumber area mostly, I think it's the same paint as the OEM application, so you can't go wrong.

Paint fades with time so it won't be perfect, but for the little types of fixes that you would want to use touch up paint for, it should look pretty close. More important than the color match is how careful you are when you apply it.
I just got a new bottle of yellow. I'm always filling chips on my car.
