Default I've really done it - stupid parking blocks. Cracked Front Lip - Spray can touchup?

I was afraid of the worst and then last weekend it happened. Took 1 second of distraction and bam!, I hit a parking block and cracked my front greddy lip.

Was pretty pissed, but then today I took it off to see if I could repair it. Crack wasn't too big, 4" maybe. I tried using some jb weld on the back of it and it actually held it together pretty well. Havent had the chance to take a picture but looks like I might be able to salvage the lip.

Only problem is you can slightly see the crack line in front. I'm considering using touchup paint but afraid it would make it worse. Instead I'm thinking a very light layer of spray paint might cover it up perfectly.

My question is, where can we buy touchup spray paint?

I found this site:
https://www.expresspaint.com

But its $30 for 1 can!! Any suggestions??

try automotive touch up paint. They know the exact paint code for our vehicles and they will mix it and send it to you. Ive tried touch up paint from them and the color was pretty dead on for my carbon silver z. Have not tried the spray paint, but im assuming spray paint would turn out better since you can apply it more evenly, whereas for the touch up you have to dab it around.

Dealerships use guys that come in and airbrush blemishes on new/used cars... you should try and get one of these guys to blow in some paint over top of the crack. Shouldn't be to expensive and will look good as new.

Hope everything works out for you.
