Its been a few years, but I purchased my touch up paint from Automotion. I just checked and they still sell it in a single stage bottle.

No affiliations.

Note: I don't use the paint brush in the bottle. I find that its too large. I have a fine point artist's brush that works well for small stone chips. I have a Dr Color Chip kit but haven't had a chance to try it.

Just get your paint code and check out www.paintscratch.com. I've had very good luck with their touchup paint and a small artist's brush.

The factory stuff is single stage. It doesn't come in a kit with clear.

I'd like to know how well this really works

I've bought my GPW touch-up paints from http://www.AutomotiveTouchup.com

I've done hundreds of stone chip touch ups in the past on my guards red '85 and '93 cars using factory touch up paint, one of these unigrit stones (whetted), and polished out with random orbit polishing.

I'd only recommend this technique for the single stage/non clear-coated colors. (You know - those beautiful M&M colors!)

With a little practice your technique improves quite quickly. Indistinguishable from surrounding good paint.
Wet paint is applied with a toothpick end, one teeny droplet at a time till you've built up a little hemisphere out to the surrounding good paint. Usually I'll hit about one or two dozen stone chips in (an hour) setting. You're left with a bunch of little tiny bumps after 24 hrs drying. I've Never used the applicator brush. It's too much of a broad ax where a foil is needed.

Gently wet stone those bumps down till the shiny ring around the bump turns 'foggy', and finish with a random orbit polish (or hand polish instead).

Worked every time for me. Build experience on the flat surfaces (hood) before attempting compound curved surfaces. You'll be surprised how good you become.

But I became tired of these never ending road pits, so I plastic filmed the entire front end after I finished up my '93's hood 6 years ago. Haven't done one of these touch ups in quite a while.

I was just recommended this by a guy I trust with car detailing... Ordered a kit. Ill let you all know how it goes...

I used Dr. Color Chip on my Jetta. While it colors the chip, it does not fill the void, so still noticeable from 3 feet. YMMV

I bought touch up for my Guards Red 964 off eBay- for $27/ea. The seller is Porsche of Stevens Creek. The code on it is 80k.

I paid $12 at the dealer.

Porsche of Huntsville was going to "give it to me for $40".. So I thought $27 was a deal! Of course, they were also going to charge me 30 min of labor to unlock my wheel locks- so I ended up drilling them out.

Wow!

I was expecting it to be $20 and wouldn't have bought it if it was much more than that. I was shocked at the $12 price.
