Best Touch Up Paint
Scratched the top approx 3 in. L shape while removing.
Scratched through the clear coat to the white primer. What is the best touch up paint by name to use that will blend in enough to cover it and will not be too noticable unless you really look for it?
Any suggestion will be welcome.

I dont think you are going to have it fixed in 2 1/2 hours. Try duct tape!
Seriously though, Mothers makes a product with "LANKA TECHNOLOGY" I have used it and it worked well on minor rock chips. I used the GM touch up paint. Good luck

Best paint would probably be the GM touch up stuff. How you put it on will be the real test of whether it is noticable or not. Good luck.

I have seen kits in the 'vette catalogs that are designed to keep 'touch-ups' from looking like boogers but have been to much of a kitty-kat to try it on my own machine. Please let us know how it comes out on yours.
