I was looking at www.paintscratch.com they seem to offer a lot of different products with it.. things like primer and clear coat..

I don't know if I need these things with it, the scratch's go all the way through the paint... the bumper could probably go for a complete respraying to be honest, but I am trying to escape the 300 bill for that.

Go to your local dealer, you can get a small bottle for a few bucks. Make sure you have your VIN written down too

i got some from the dealership, but if you also have a ding on a metal surface, you gotta clean the rust out before applying touch-up over it. I made that mistake.

I purchased OBP paint from paintscratch.com. The paint matches great. One bonus is that they mix the paint on demand so it's fresh.

Don't purchase the Dupli-Color clear there though. You can purchase the same lacquer (re-branded) at the auto parts store for 1/3 the cost.

I've used paintscratch.com for rattle cans and the paint "pens". The color match was correct.
