I bought paint from paintscratch.com. I have an Ivory Pearl sedan and plan on painting the black trim around the bottom. I bought primer, basecoat, midcoat (pearl), and clearcoat. All with flex additive for bumpers. Also got assorted sandpaper and rubbing compound. They guarantee a match. It's gotten too cold here to paint in my unheated garage so I can't comment on the match yet. Check them out.

Courtesy Parts sells the touch-up paint/clear coat combo pen for $13. Even though they mostly sell Nissan parts, they are the only ones I found online that have the combo pen for the G35. They have excellent service.

I got mine at the dealer since I don't need a lot.

But if you're planning to get factory matched spraypaint, below are good places to get them:

www.paintscratch.com (as mentioned above)
www.paintworldinc.com (very quick service)

If you decide on the normal touch up paint by infiniti, just get it from dealership... if its close.

Anyone have tips on applying the touchup paint?

I have a slight nick on my right rear of my bumper...

I've heard of people saying using the backside of a paper match, some say just use the touchup paint brush,...


ANY ADVISE??

Thanks!

Question matched paints

do these matched paints match better than the infiniti touchup? the laser red infiniti touchup does ok for very small area's, but for medium area's its noticeably darker, noticeable to me anyway...

I use a yogurt cut to put a few dabs of paint in.

Then I take a toothpick and tap the tip on something to make it flat.
I use that to tap paint into the chip. You'll need to do many thin
layers (like 10x or more) if you want the paint to match the surface
height of the surrounding paint. After you get the paint to convex a tad,
let it dry for a few days, take some 2000grit sanding block and some
detailer spray (or soapy water) and go over the touch paint and
surrounding area gently. Then gently go over the same area with
ScratchX as your rubbing compound. Let it dry another few days and
apply wax.
