Default Frail paint.

Anyone notice how frail the paint is on our cars? I have a few paint chips all over the place. Who sells touch up paint that actually works?

I'm the guy you switched wheels with. You seen my door.

I'm just trying to cover it up to stop the rust until I get it fixed.

Yeah I'm probably going to head to the dealer and get some GPW touch up paint. It'll look better than it does now. Its just temporary until after the holidays. Money is tight.

use a toothpick to apply the touch up paint. Don't use the brush supplied. The toothpick will let you dab in tiny amounts of paint to get a decent finish that isn't like a camouflaged zit on your paint.

I use a paint pen for touch-ups.
