The dealership is the only place I know of. They have either the conventional nailpolish bottle and brush, or the newer tube and felt type tips of paint and clearcoat.
Initially I hated the newer tube type, but now I'm used to it and like it.

Ivory Pearl paint code is QX1.

my hood has scratches, some deep ones.. have no idea where they came from.. seems like everytime i wash my car i find a new scratch on there.. but its nothing to worry about.
my front bumper looks like sh*t from up close, somebody scraped the left side and tons of rock chips!

the guy at the dealer told me not to get the touch up cuz it stands out from the rest of the paint, he told me to find a different solution..

and here it is:
1. repaint hood
2. new greddy front bumper (and sides)
3. clearbra everywhere except the rear.
est. cost: $1700

that'll do the trick..

Go here and get the paint for you car. it will match better than the dealer paint because they buy left over paint from the auto mfgs and match it to the serial number on you car so they use the same batch as the factory did to paint your car. I have a 2005 6mt laser red and the touchup paint matches perfectly.

I used to have a silver maxima, and bought the touch up paint from the dealership for $5, and it didn't really match the first time I used it. But the second time I really took my time shaking the *ish out of it, for like 10 minutes, and it matched perfectly. I will by from Infiniti and give them a chance but i will sure shake it for a while before use.

Went in for an oil change, and asked prices on splash guards, oem lip, and touch up paint, and the lady just gave me the touch up paintand said I don't have to pay for it, so I only paid for an oil change. Not bad. Didn't use it yet though.
