Touch Up Paint

I'm sure this topic has been covered to death, but as a new S car owner I have aquired my first chip at the base of my front bumper. I want to order Arctic Silver touch-up paint, any input as to who sells what, where?

I have tried the Dr. Colorchip. The process is quite simple to apply. The sample paint matches the original Porsche color closely. However, after the application, the paint chip defect is still visible. The chip crater is still present, but at least, there is no paint blob protrusion.

See the WSJ review:

Tried it with no luck also. Probably user error but it isn't like the adverts say.

I used Dr. ColorChip on my Arena Red Boxster with what I feel are good results. Certainly better than any thing else I have used. Excellent color match and rather easy to use. If you know where to look, it is true that you can still see some depression. This can be minimized with additional applications, however these slight dips are not noticeable if you are not sure where to look. Pretty much what they promise on their web site IMO.

I was a bit skeptical initially and tried it first on my white T&C minivan before getting the metalic color for the Porsche. Clear bra on the CS has prevented the need to use any touch up on it.

I used Dr Colorchip on guards red. Its easy to use and blends well. But craters are noticeable if you stare closely.
You could just buy touch-up & a paint solvent to save some money.

I've been pleased with the results using the AutoSharp Pen on my other car. It's very easy to use. Haven't needed to try it on the Cayman yet. But, I've got the pen at the ready when that first dreaded chip hits.
