Default Touch up paint TIPS

I just got my new ride (99 civic hatchback cx 5 spd, 21k miles) for less than a week and some motherfuckin' retarded redneck white kid rear ended the rear *** already. I was lookin out the window and it just happened this blind **** was trying to park behind my car. I ran downstairs and by the time I got there, they were gone. Couple minutes later, the same colored car tried to park at the same spot so I asked him if it was his dumbass who fucked up my shiet. He kept denying it and I couldn't accuse him since I aint sure whether it was him who hitted it. Then he fled right when my dad was about to talk to him. My dad said it was that redneck who rammed his shiet on my car. Now the *** of my car got a paint thats chipped about the size of an M&M and some scratches.

Here's the questions I need answers from my fellow victims and loving friends from HT hahaha:
1. what is the paint code for the stock silver paint for hondas? specifically civics.
2. what touch up paint do you guys recommend and use the most?
3. any tips in sprayin/paintin the scratches and chips?

thnx in advance

All the above recommendations are horrible. Dealer paint sucks.

Autosharp pens are great. I bought a Silverstone one for my S2000 and it matches perfectly. The tip is also very easy to work with. They also make a clear coat pen.

if you find perfect matching paint, and you need to fill/cover a small spot, use a syringe (you might be able to buy it at your local pharmacy depending on which state). The needle will allow you to fill those small spots without a BIT tip/brush gettin onto your paint that exist already.

good luck!
