Touching up the paint help!

[CWModrow]

Ok so my Camry is a 99 with the gold color i was wondering how i would go about fixing this paint chips or if i should just repaint the hole car. if i did that i wouldnt paint the hood or the trunk since i will be getting the carbon fiber ones and what colores are cheap but look the good. Also would not painting these parts save me any amount of money?and last question How much is it for a middel of the line job that wont faid fast but is not like show room paint?

well if you just have paint chips then id just get some touchup paint and fill in. if the paint was fading, peeling or oxidizing then a full repaint would be best.

off topic, but why do you have andy's auto sport advertised in your sig(i think they are quite overpriced or on par). you get discounts there??

LOL You save like 10% off regular merchandise and 15% off AAS merchandise, and yes it is expensive. I bought a cheap ebay-like Strut bar for like $50 w/ shipping. The shipping was horrible and slow, the bar was for a 92-97 4 cylinder not 97-01 and it said Megan Racing on the site, but it was actually a crappy ebay one..

Ohh yea staying on topic, just go to like Auto-Zone and get some touch-up paint to match the color and some clear to finish it off.

I just used touch up paint for mine. Was gonna clear coat it but never got around to it.

Is touch up paint supposed to be really, really thick? Like annoyingly thick, dries the second you put it on, smears more than is spreads? I think I just have really old touch up paint...

Got mine from the dealership. You can apply it like a pen ie. pressing the point onto the places you want to paint. It depends on how hard and how long you press it down on the area you want to cover. I'm not sure exactly how long it took for it to dry, I just left the car sitting around for a while.
