Touch up paint for 'black cherry pearl'?

[synthbent715]

Hey everyone. I recently noticed a small chip on the hood of my 05 Scion xA. Since its my new car I want to take care of every little chip so I wento looking for touch up paint. My xA is 'black cherry pearl' so I was looking for the '2 in 1 dupli-color' touch up tubes but they didn't carry any in that color. I found a few that looked like they might have matched, such as Toyota 'vintage red pearl' or GM's 'dark cherry pearl' but I really want it dead on since its going to be on the hood. I found a dew pens on ebay but I'll leave that for a last resort. Has anyone picked up the OEM touch up from the dealer for this color? Or has anyone found a color that's a near perfect match?

Thanks yall

Really? Did you get them from the dealer? How much were they?

You just have to know how to use them. I've used so many of them that it's second nature to me now. It does take practice though. You can't just expect to pick up a paint brush and be the next da Vinci.

You can get them at your local dealer and they aren't bad to work with.
The first time you try it, make sure you have a damp cloth with you to wipe off the paint immediatly if you don't like the way it looks. Also remember, the paint will start off as a small bubble and flatten out as it dries.

Cool do you know how much they usually cost at the dealer? I know I could simply go up there and ask, but I hate to be that guy who asks how much something is and then says nevermind when its too much. Then they'll just think I'm a broke jerk, hahaha.
