Any way to get touch up paint today?!? - Toyota Yaris Forums

kac · 08-19-2009, 02:00 PM

I got some scratches on the bottom of my front bumper from pulling onto some ramps, and I would love to touch them up with some touch up paint.

I've seen sites where I can order it online, but I'm trying to put my car in a show Friday and need the paint to be here pretty much immediately...

Called all the toyota dealerships within as far as I'm willing to drive today, and they all said it would take a week to get it in.

Meteorite Metallic Yaris... Need some touch up paint.

Anyone have any ideas that I haven't thought of?

Not sure how long shipping will take. But if it's on the bottom of your bumper, I wouldn't worry about it. I doubt it will be noticeable or if people will look under there.

^ yeah, but it might be one of those things that keeps him awake at night -- like it might for me.

hahahaha, reminds me of the crack on my front bumper. That haunted me. But after so many people tried to look for after I told them my story of the concrete block on the freeway, and them not noticing it and when they did, they thought it was a vent (

), I stopped caring so much. Although, next time my front bumper is off, I might just Double Bubble epoxy it together.

Yes. a dealer about an hour away has ONE thing of paint. Leaving now to go get it. :)

How much did they quote you for it?

Paid $8 with tax... worth it to not have to wait to get some online. Haven't touched up the bumper yet, but I will before Friday.

hope he didn't agree to drive 200 miles to get it! ;)

Drove an hour to get the touch up paint. Went shopping while I was in town and picked up some more DOMO stuff. So defintely not a wasted trip.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
