Paint
I have a white 4th gen. I need enough touchup paint to paint over where I am about to grind the rust down. Has anyone had a good place to get it in either a spray can or a pint and is it matched good enough to look good without doing too much blending with the current coat?

You need to find out what your paint code is and go to an auto color supply to have it mixed. I believe you can get just a pint.

look for a metal plate on the left side of the firewall - it has the paint code stamped on it.

Dealer sells OEM touch-up paint in a variety of applicators, from brushes to spray cans to ball-point applicators (I think).
Of course even perfectly matched paint won't match perfectly today since the paint on your car has been subjected to the elements for 12 years, but the difference won't be huge.

Ya its the white QH0 or something like that.
It just minor spots on the side and bumpers. The rust from the hood is going to require cutting and bondo. I think for that Ill just lebra or maybe bug shield that area if I cant get it to work well.

Duh! I also ment to ask...where has everyone had luck with getting the paint. We have Napa and the dealer at the least. There are also some online places.
