paint chips

I was wondering if there was anything I could get done to repair small paint chips on my front and rear bumpers. They have a good amount of small chips and it'd be nice to have them repair. I have a "Sable Pearl Oak" color on it.

I considered getting a brand new paint job for the car, I just wasn't sure if it was worth it.

now and dayz just the name "toyota" the stuff would be kinda expensive... and it also depends where are u getting yoru paint touched up. I think if your paint is more "u-neek" like those pearl paint jobs it would cost more due to they have to match the paint.

I had to get a door handle painted from black to "dark emerald pearl" (6MJ, i think). Went to Auto Zone, paid $4 each for spary-on primer, clearcoat, and the paint iteself. You can't tell the difference.

I have some touch up paint and its about $5. You can pick it up at any auto store really. You could go to toyota and it'd probably be just a little more than the generic brands. I know camry's have lots of "beige" colored cars. My friend's camry seems like its a lighter (color) version of mine but that might be because his has sat in the sun longer. I can tell you that the toyota touch up paint is fair. I used it on my "beige" colored camry and it seems fine. Not noticeable unless your real close.

The paint code, if you don't already know, is on the driver's side door jamb. This will make sure you get the right color, because "sailfin blue," for example, can mean a lot of different things but 8N7 is an exact match.

At my Toyota dealership the paint was $6, but I negotiated a freebie into the contract when I bought the car.
