| http://www.colorrite.com/ They have your paint but a bit pricy. I had the same problem with my dealer said he couldn`t find a part # for touchup paint. But if he did it would be about $9.00 US . Anyway he never did |

| I just ordered from Colorite, got the pen for touchup on my 06 blue sw. The results are amazing, I had white paint showing through on the edges of the fairing, wife couldn't tell where I had chips. Also easy to use. |

| If you want to do it on the cheap and have a minute to try and match colors. I have found nail polish a pretty good touch up paint. Takes some skill to apply on a really small scratch but the stuff dries really hard. Just an option. Nt really a recommendation. |

| Will someone who used the colorite touch-up paint briefly explain the steps taken to get good results?
I've tried touch-ups on cars before and obtained poor results. I tried my best to follow the paint manufacturers instructions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

| It's close to fool proof, just shake the pen, and gently run the thin part of the tip into scratches. Let it dry and walla the scratches disapper. For deeper scratches I did one coat and 24 hours later a second coat. I was amazed how good the Wing looks after I was done. |

| tlh mentioned that he would like to know how to apply touch-up paint, and got bad results following the manufacturer instructions. I had this same experience, but then got a good tip from an auto-detailer and got perfect results. Do NOT use the brush attached to the inside of the touch-up paint bottle. It is way way too big to do fine work, and also totally glops up with too much paint. The tip the detailer gave me is to go to an art or hobby store and get a VERY small brush (round bristles with a pointy end). Put very little paint on it and just dab it into the scratch/ding. Don't put too much paint on during one application. You might have to do this procedure several times just to fill a small ding, but the results are great! If you have a large ding or scratch you will want to use a larger version of the same kind of brush. Make sure the bristles width is no more than 1/2 the width of the ding/scratch (1/3 is probably even better if you will have the patience to use it). Because so little paint is being applied one application might not completely cover the color of the underlying material. Just repeat this whole cycle until you are happy with what you see. With regards to filling a scratch or ding before painting, I don't know anything about that. I'm going to post a new thread "How to fill scratches/dings" to find this out from more experienced members. Follow that thread if you need to know how to fill. |

| I had a few minor scratches on my 2008 Silverwing and I went to Advance Auto Parts and found some "Scratch Fix 2 in 1" that was really close. My bike is the metallic gray color. The bottle I found is for Chrysler vehicles but the number is NG CC 414. I have seen this same brand of touch up paint before at Wal Mart and O'Reiley Auto Parts but neither of them had anything as close as this one. It's not perfectly exact but it's really close, which is good enough for me. $8 wasn't a bad price for it either. |

For $6.99, full retail, at your local Honda dealership, you CAN have a perfect match. Was good enough for me and a bit more than 7 bucks wasnt a bad price either. |

Craigory, I didnt do any filling. The scratches were not deep. Merely scratches that knocked the paint off and allowed the white plastic to show through. With patience, you could build up the gouge with several coats of paint allowing them to dry in between in order to fill a gouge. If you have several deep gouges and this would be time consuming to say the least.
I picked up two touch up paints at my local dealer for 6.99 each. I have an 05 so it has two tone paint, Titanium Metallic for the body panels and Sparkling Silver Metallic for the lower body panels, wheels, passenger footpegs, and rear package carrier. |

Unfortunately, The Sparkling Silver Metallic paint code is nowhere to be found on any of those 3 threads (with one link being THIS thread).
Sparkling Silver Metallic is the color you will need if you want to (perfectly) touchup your rims, rear cargo shelf, lower body panels (on the years that have two tone paint scheme), fork sliders, passenger foot pegs, etc. |

| I am trying to touch up a few significant gouges on my tupperware, and I've been using the Honda touch-up paint. It worked fine for all of the small scratches, but not so much for the bigger ones. I think that the consistency is too thin to adequately cover a large gouge with lots of white showing. It basically just tints it even after a few coats.
I've checked into ColorRite and they do have the color for my 2002 Candy Wineberry Red. I'm wondering about the consistency. Is it really thin like regular touch-up paint, or does it have a thicker consistency which might cover a little thicker? Thanks! |

| It is a GREAT paint and it does not need to be thicker. I just finished up a small project on my 08 and even though there was hi humidity in the air I did the work inside an unused bed room that was worm. That really up set the old lady but she got over it. I did have a large air purifier running at the time. |
