Default Touch Up Paint

Anyone have any recommendations for touch up paint? My Durango is silver.

Thanks

I've always had excellent success with Dr. Colorchip.

Please elaborate. I always used the factory touch-up with a brush. Do you get better results as far as blending into surrounding paint vs blob from touch up brush?? How is color match? I have seen the commercials and wanted to give it a try. Thanks.

The match from Dr. Colorchip is excellent and their process is very straightforward:

1. Clean chip area with alcohol or mineral spirits
2. Fill chip to slightly higher than the surrounding paint
3. Smear with thumb using rubber glove provided
4. Allow to dry about 5 minutes
5. Rub with provided solvent. I use an old tee shirt (low pile) wrapped tightly around an old credit card to provide a hard, flat surface that acts like a sanding block.

Works well, better than just touch-up paint IMO.

Thanks!
Frank
