Where do I get "touch-up" paint? Infiniti Dealer?

Just discovered a few minor scratches on the hood and one larger one on the trunk.

They look like they went down to a white (?) base primer.

Do I go to the Infiniti dealer's parts department to get my KYO (Brilliant Silver) touchup paint?

For those who've used this touch-up paint, how successful were you in getting a smooth application and (hopefully) a seamless result?

How good is this Langka product I've read about? Better than an Infiniti touch-up paint?

Also try www.paintscratch.com They have touch up paint in pens, small bottles or spray cans. All are custom matched to the factory paint codes. I ordered some fro then the other day and am waiting on iys arrival.

Langka is no good

I tried the Langka stuff on my 98 Volvo before selling it and the results were not good, to say the least. It's basicly a paint thinner that disolves the paint surrounding the scratch, then you smear it over the scratch. They fail to mention that the clearcoat is gone after using it.

I found this online - but I haven't tried it

Re: Where do I get "touch-up" paint? Infiniti Dealer?

i have some scratches on my car as well near a wheel. if i get the touch-up paint for my DP color, and apply it, how do i get another layer of clear coat over that? and can/should I ask the dealer to fix this scratch for me? estimate on how much it will cost?

I got my touch up paint from www.paintscratch.com and it's the best match I've seen yet.
