A few weeks ago someone scraped my car on the college parking lot . So today I went to the Honda dealership and they quoted me around $500 to repaint the whole back bumper. I think that is to much for a small chip and this might happen again after I get it painted. My question is where can I buy high quality touch up paint and what are my other options. Thanks in advance.

Is the Honda touch up paint available at the dealer not high enough quality?

and what are my other options.
Leave it be if you think "this might happen again," use touch up paint to minimize it, or buy supplies from aut0m0tivet0uchup[dot]c0m and try to fix it yourself (still won't look as good as body shop repaint... and $500 is fair).

read pages 1 thru 3 here...lots have run into this...the bottom line is yes you can cover it with touch up paint ,but it will never be perfect unless a body shop or dentless paint repair does it....
Sorry I didn't know this section existed. I actually found a lot of helpful info here thanks.

The Honda service tech didn't mention touch up paint at all so I assumed that they didn't sell it. As Glen e said I think I might take it to a body shop and see if they can apply touch up paint since they will do a better job then me.
