i just started washing my car, which is the dirtiest it has ever been sinced i owned it, and there was some white stuff on the bumper. at first glance i thought it was bird poop, so when i went after it with the sponge, my paint came up. apparently not bird poop. so now there are some spots on my rear bumper where it is just the yellow bumper itself. so my question is, where is the best place to get some touch up paint (black) that will match decently well? in days before when i would go to the autoparts store they would have a book, that you could look up your paint code and then get the correct stuff. but last time i went there they did not have anything like that.
any input?
Thanks

I know there is a website that will actually mix you a spary can of any color code. But I dont remember the site.

Maybe someone else will.

And black wont touch up very well, so dont expect a miracle.

yea, i dont have my hopes up very high, but i figure black will be better then yellow. also i kind of want like the kind you brush on. i think that that would be better suited for these spots.

Paintscratch makes aerosol cans using your paint code from your door jamb. $24.95 for a 12.5oz can. They also carry the brush on style and paint pens in factory colors. I have not purchased from them, yet.

+1 ... I have purchased from Painscratch.com and they match the paint up very well. The key to making it look good and look factory is in your base coatings and clear. I am the farthest from expert on this subject though. But I did use their stuff on my last truck and it turned out great.
