I finally got everything sorted on my new to me 04 Cab and have a couple chips to touch up. Who makes the best touch up for Arctic Silver. My search revealed that the factory paint is too dark to match. Any ideas.

i got the arctic silver factory touch up paint. it's useless.. unless i suppose you're a pro painter/installer. looks like silver testors paint. was paint code L92.. iirc?

Artic Silver should be in 2 bottles. One is the paint and the other is the clear.

you can buy them separately or some kits have the color and the clear coat bottles incl

I've just had a touch up done where the car had been keyed.I had two options (excluding the full repaint, which was offered.....)

1.go to a porsche approved repair station, cost was low, and they colour matched paint, and hand touched some areas (they wouldn't touch the keyed area - to deep), but they give you a small bottle of touch up paint to take away.
2. get the screwdriver out, remove the mirror, take it to your nearest panel shop and have them paint match it on computer. This would have cost me more, as minimum paint qty was 500ml.

Buy the touch up paint from the dealer for your car. Take the car to a high end detailer, have the car polished and they will paint in and blend the paint with the car.

My 350z was quite bad when I bought it, my buddy who's a big time detailer for high end cars (Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati, McLaren etc) blended in all my scratches and chips, the car looks almost new after he was done it was incredible.

He wet sanded the whole car, touched in all the spots and polished the car to blend. Was about $400 to do the whole car but looked perfect after. Previous owner didn't really care about the paint so I got the car cheap. All I can say is the previous owner should have spent the $400 he could have asked a lot more for the car

Not sure what I was on when I typed this. it should have read, get the screwdriver out and remove the fuel filler flap.....
