Where to buy touch up paint?

I've called my local dealer and they don't have my color in stock. And to boot while they can order it, it'll take 3 weeks to get to me. Where else can I get it from?

They dont have any in their network that can ship sooner?? Ive tried aftermarket touchup pens in the past with terrible luck so I try to stick with OEM now

 

Just me, but I'd wait the time for the correct paint color.

 

All they said is that it'll take 21 days. Hence why I'm looking elsewhere.

Try Amazon. I've ordered touch up paint several times.

 

Wouldn't an online dealer be able to get it? Or someone else. Just for more information... I'm using this to cover up the bare metal after I drill some holes inside my engine compartment when I install my Spiker hood struts.

David

 

For that purpose wouldn't the strut hardware cover the metal around the holes. If so any color or at least a close match from an auto supply store should be good enough?

 

What I would do is go to an automotive paint store and have them mix me a spray paint can of the correct paint code.

 

+1 to what goat said. Not sure how big of an area you need to fix, but might also want to get an auto primer (I think etch primer), and a good 2k clearcoat. Don't forget about the prep work. A good job is all about the prep.

 

Bought a set of adhesion promoter, base coat and clear coat from automotivetouchup.com that I’m super happy with

 

Instant gratification much? OMG! THREE whole weeks??? How can you possibly live that long with a nick in your paint? Again... OMG!

And reading further... inside your engine compartment? OMG!

 

You sir are a moron. The point is that I'd like to install my hood struts and I'm not going to leave the bare holes exposed. You can go treat your truck like trash but I'm not. So take your stupid comments and go somewhere else.

I bought a kit from here, https://www.revemoto.com/
Haven't had time to use it yet but I think it is going to work very well.

 

LOL... from you? I'll take that as a compliment.

 

Won't the hood struts cover up the holes you drilled? You could probably use Rustoleum black and nobody but you would know.

 

Try this link. They say you will get it next week.

This.
A good professional auto paint store will have the OEM paint codes and will be able to match the OEM paint in most any form you need.
I got a small supply of 4V6 that matched perfectly.

Don't mind the imbaciles, I don't think what you have asked is in any way out of bounds or ridiculous. There are always going to be those that reenforce why the Internet can be a fucking awful place.

 

I've been happy with these guys:

2020 Toyota Tacoma Colors of Touch Up Paint (automotivetouchup.com)

 

You can take that and shove it up your ———!

I'd try another dealer in the area or even a Lexus one. Otherwise, an online dealer where sometimes you can find promo codes to save on shipping. I took would stick to OEM.

If you're doing your hood struts though, the holes should be covered by the mounting bracket right? Why not just go to Walmart or auto store and get basic primer gray or closest color touch up? If you won't see it, doesn't really matter what color you use for now.
