Touch Up Sticks.

[trainman34014]

Bought me a new Mitsubishi and after a year i needed a Touch Up Stick for a few nicks.  Been to several Mitsubishi dealers and just got blank looks; they all say 'Get job done at Paintshop'.

 

Do i really have to wait until i am back in Europe to get such a simple item ?

I got a white touch up stick for a white Toyota on a stall in Big C. They are everywhere and all colours.  Tescos usually have these sorts of outlets in their car park area.

yes, little kiosks outside Tesco, Big C etc usually have these.

 

But they always seem to not be in exactly the shade one needs.????

 I looked high and low for one but couldn't get the correct colour. I settled for a spray can. Sprayed a small lid then used a fine brush to dab on the spot that needed doing.

you must love your car?  Mine is just a way to get from A to B. I try not to get too bunched about  small scratches and marks. They are inevitable in Thailand, which is why I paid just 700,000 for my new Toyota and not 2 million for a nice shinny pick up truck.  Mrs P was most put out.

There right you can buy some from a auto paint workshop and get the right match depending on the colour, some colours deteriorate over time, compensation age can be made in matching many shade colours.

My lump is white and I had a small mark on the back bumper that showed through black use to annoy me. So a dab of white paint sorted that. Still not the same colour but better than black.

 

Mine is also a work horse that has got to last 8/9+ years. If taken care of service wise etc, will give trouble free motoring, it'll also return a decent price when sold. So a 60bt paint can is worth all the monies.

 

N/B the two things I love about my Lump is that it's high up and big holds lots of goodies and enables me to see in front of the other lumps on the road.

You can find decent touch-up sticks on ebay and amazon, though shipping can be pricey.
