Is there a way to touch up oem pain without a full repaint? I have a tarmac black with a good amount of scratches.

 

You could use a automotive paint pen depending on how bad it is. Google it, there is video's and how to's. Just put in your make and model. I think they are like $15.

 

Where would one go to get an automotive paint pen? Online or locally?

Not sure if I can find one locally in Alaska..

 

You just have to put in your make, model, and stock paint color.

I went to the site, they also sell ready to spray paint.. How well would those work

 

From my experience with them, it was great. i bought the spray can in red to repaint my mirror and the color is dead on. I'm sure with black is the same. Not sure what you are trying to repaint, but I would definitely try them out. If you need sandpaper and clear coat too, I would try to put everything in one order.

 

Dr Color chip works amazingly well. Not a gimic like you'd think.

 

Awesome thanks guys.

 

Hood , bumpers, a couple little here and there's on the door etc..is it as simple as spraying and letting it settle in?

 

You're better off using a pen for scratches and dings. You'd have to blend sprayed paint in with the surrounding area so that it doesn't stick out, which probably isn't easy. Painting an entire piece, like a mirror, is a bit easier.

 

I have the Mitsubishi tarmac black/Labrador black paint pen. one side of it is the black paint and the other side is the clear. it works ok and does the job, but it's never going to look as good as a paint job (obviously). you can order it through any Mitsubishi dealer. it costed me about 10 bucks
