Hi, I wanted to do a search and avoid posting this thread, but the search function has been down past 3 days...

I scraped a little paint off the back of my Z with my key while i was closing the back hatch (i feel stupid )... can someone let me know where I can buy some touch-up paint to match my daytona blue ?
Thanks in advance ...

thanks! ordered it... on its way ...

 

I'll tell you where not to try and buy it - a dealer!!!! I tried all three of my local dealers and none of them had it in stock. They each would have to order it.

When I go into my local Toyota dealership, they have a rack in the parts department with what looks like every conceivable Toyota color. They have a huge "shopping area" where you can pick out all sorts of stuff. Two of my three Nissan dealers have absolutely nothing to show in their parts departments.

I suspect they would have to order everything that anybody wanted because they have little to no onhand stock. I hate to think this is the Nissan way of doing business. That make me worry that if I ever do have to bring my car in for service any part they need will be two days away and I'll be without my car that much or longer.

Sorry for the rant....

 

I got a touchup paint pen and regular paint from courtesyparts.com and it matches fairly well. I called two local dealers before I ordered online and neither had it in stock, but I called Courtesy and they had it and I got it 3 days later.
