    i've heard people recommend doctor colorchip. I used a dupli-color touch-up paint pen on my bed. But i hear the dr. colorchip works better.

    @cryptolime i may have lied a bit when I said chip paint, the part I’m tryna fix is about 1-2 inch paint “tear?” I guess? Because the paint seems a bit different from the actual body paint. Would the doctor colorchip still work on that?

    it would work, not sure how good it will look with a chip that size. I'd try touching it up and see how it comes out. if it really bothers you, you can have a body shop respray it.
