Default Quality touch up paint product question

Does anyone make a decent Vette touch up paint product? Some a**hat scrapped the nose of my Vette. Small scraps on the license plate filler and bumper.

03 Z06, silver

Try www.langka.com. Heard some good things about that product.

If it really cheeses you off enough. You could buy a replacement license plate filler. Doesn't help with the bumper though. I have used langka. You need to be paitent when removing the blob. Also, try and rub off in only one direction, not up and down or side to side.

Depending on depth of the scratch, buffing with PC might take it out....If into the primer, the least amount of paint necessary to get the color back is the goal.....Use an artist brush or round toothpick to paint...Good luck

I use GM or paint shop mix

I used a GM rattle can in MY to do my license plate bracket. Perfect match. Not cheap, though.

Excellent products. Perfect match. I painted both my license plate surrounds with it.
