Would you pay $20 for titanium touch-up paint?

Regular touch-up paint for the body is a 1/2 oz bottle. This would be a 1 oz bottle. It would match the 18" coupe wheels and those with the titanium consoles (coupe and sedan). So if a perfect match did exist, would you pay $20 for a bottle of the stuff?

puff...if it was a dead-on match, and no BS, it would be worth it...
I have a few chips on my wheels, and it would be nice to cover the black up and match the paint exact........

$20? no, I'd pay like $2000 for it!

I think most people in these forums would give their left kidneys for some good touch-up paint.

Go afr0 Go!

Yeah, if it was a perfect match for the wheels and console (are they the same color?) it would be well worth the $20.

Re: Would you pay $20 for titanium touch-up paint?

Yes, they are the same color. Take the interior titanium door handle off and put it next to your wheels. The wheels will have just a hint more "pizzaz" to them because they are clear coated. I should have the first batch back from the lab in about a week and a half. Final cost will be determined on how much it will run to ship a bottle from NJ to California. Then I'll make it a flat rate to make things less complicated. Preliminary calculations are pretty accurate with the $20 estimate... might end up being cheaper by a buck or two.
