My wife accidentally put a small scuff mark on my passenger side door and I would like to get some touch up paint to fix it as best as possible.

Where have you all purchased your own touch up paint? Also, do you get the primer, base coat and clear coat?

Thanks

Go to your local Sherwin Williams Automotive. They mix and match your paint perfectly to OEM. Depending on the size of the scuff I'd get at least the paint and clear coat.

I just called mine today and they didnt know what I was taking about lol. Another place that could help is automotivetouchup.com, I just ordered a can from them to do a project with some malbec black.

I bought some of their primer, paint, and clear coat when I fixed some curb rash on my passenger side lower bumper. I thought it looked pretty decent when i was done...all that prepwork and sanding, painting, sanding, etc. didn't matter because I ended putting the front lip spoiler on after i finished the repainting job-LOL. it was good practice if i ever want to tackle a paint repair job again. (sorry don't have pictures-on old computer whose hard drive completely died.)

Did you call the local Sherwin Williams or the local Sherwin Williams Automotive? There is a difference between the two. Ones for commercial/housing paint and the other is automotive.

I missed the Sherwin Williams "Automotive" part, not sure if I have one around me.

Should I get primer as well or just the paint and clearcoat?

No other opinions on touching up the paint on our cars?

Do you have experience with the dealer paint and if so, did you get the clearcoat paint with it?
