I just ordered some touch up paint from this firm, has anyone used them before? (I have a few small stone chips on my wheels.)

Yep. Very high quality (not cheap though). No problems.

Yes. I ordered some alpine white in the can and painted my new headlight bucket. It's not a perfect match but close enough. One problem I had was with the spray nozzle that has a tendency to blotch on occasion.

I have some photos up if you follow the link in my sig., you can see and judge for yourself how it matches.

I've dealt with them on several occasions. The paint always matches, they ship promptly and include extra spray nozzles with each can.

I have used them to order paint for an Isuzu Impulse and a VW Corrado. Excellent customer service, fast shipping extensive application instructions online.

For the Impulse I ordered the paint in a bottle that came with a brush. The brush was a little hard to use, so I used a small paintbrush instead. Perfect match.

I ordered one of their paint pens for the Corrado. That was much easier to control. The color was a little off, but then again, it's a 13 year old car, so I would expect some fading.

Would highly recommend paintscratch.com

Ritenour and I have both used it - fantastic stuff. It's important to apply enough pressure when using the rubbing compound - you *do* have to run considerably harder that what feels "right".

You'll also be left with some spots missing wax for a while (around the chips you treat) but it looks just like normal after the next few waxes.
