Question about touchup paint?

[stagius24]

Hi

I got out of school, and found out someone scratched my rear bumper. There is no structural damage, the bumper is still in good shape However, the paint is scratched. It is pretty noticeable when i touch it, about less than 1mm depth.

By looking far away, the dent is not noticeable thank to magnetic grey color.

I am thinking about order paint pen from paintscratch.com. Or order a bottle paint from the dealer. Which way will you guys recommend. I have never done any touch paint so I have no experience with both. One good thing i found ordering from the dealer is cheap, but the paint dont come with pen paint, and clear coat color.

So please let me hear ur advice

Thank you,

Paint code 1G3. Order it from the dealer, its actually cheaper lol. If they don't have it in stock, it will usually take them 1-7 days to get it.

it is actually 1g3.
Do you think the paint from dealer come with something special to get the job done easy. As i know, most ppl said the paint pen from paintsratch is pretty easy to use.

My dealer was nice and gave me one, it has a pen applicator as well an another under the lid.
Not sure what it looks like because I don't want to crack the seal until I need it.
Seems like it would have been like $7 or something if I would have had to pay.
Hope that helps..

Yup, mine was about $7 as well and matches pretty well.

so you guys don't use any clear coat after that ?
paintscratch said every car produced after 1987 all have a clear coat.

I am gonna check out my dealership today to see if they were nice enough to give me one for free :d
