Default Touch-Up Paint Questions

Two questions about touch-up paint

1) Corvette America (www.corvetteamerica) sells touch-up paint for $10.00 per one fluid ounce - Has anyone had negative or positive experiences

2) Best way to fix this paint problem - The black paint has worn away

Thanks

Most auto parts store will carry a product called Trim-Paint. It's made just for doing such repairs as yours. I'd carefully mask the area and sand with 400 grit wet/dry paper working wet. then re-shoot the whole strip from top to bottom. First coat should be a light dusting or speckling (tack coat), followed by about 3 medium (wetter) coats. I'm sure it will come out fine. Sorry, but I have no knowledge of the touch-up paint in question.
