Your dealer will sell touch up paint. It has your paint in one end and clear coat in the other end.

Scratches or chips? Also, what color is the car?

There was a chip in my girlfriend's bumper right near the wheel well on her 09 Super Black hatchback and I filled it in with bondo primer/putty (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/3 ... AA280_.jpg). After I let dry, approximately one hour, I then took a very fine grit sand paper and made sure the job looked clean. After that, use the aftermarket Nissan Super Black Paint repair tube/pen. This is something you can get from your dealer, all colors are available...if not, anything Duplicolor like this (http://www.drillspot.com/pimages/2808/280873_300.jpg) will work. Afterwards, look for a Duplicolor clear coat to put on over the chip to give it that shiny look/feel.

Note: I did this to her BLACK Versa. Last time I did this to a white car (Nissan Skyline) it ended up looking pretty crappy. Black is just so easy to fix. I imagine anything but white/blue/silver would be easy to match. Good luck with the fix, hope this helps!

its actually chipped. just a couple small pieces though, probably from other people's doors hitting mine...

the car is magnetic gray

i think i might just get the touch up paint and color over the chipped areas, even though it will still be rough
