Duplicolor makes this 2 in 1 Touch Up Pen, they're pretty good in matching imports like Nissan IMO; I used it on my Max for a few minor scratches that were just annoying me. Only slight problem is they ask that you apply clearcoat afterwards as well; for my scratches it wasn't that serious but depends on what you need it for, and how much you're covering up. Got it at Pep Boys for like 10 bucks if I remember correctly.

BUT it's not factory. So it's just my recommendation =)

You might try paintscratch.com but I have not bought anything from them yet..but planning on it. It was recommended by someone else on this site.

+1, This way you know the color will match. You give them the vin and they hook it up. Now the only issue will be color fading on the original paint...

I just bought my dream car, a 97 SE. Recently I got rammed by an uninsured motorist before I got insurance, so I'm on my own to return her to normal. The drivers side front and rear door panels retained the brunt of the damage. I'd say two hands worth of removed paint.
I'd appreciate any informed advice on where to buy the paint, including clear coat if neccesary.

Forgive the rapid "Noob" posting. As you all know I've got 14 posts and counting until I can start a thread. For you who are generous enough to help me, this is going to be quite a project to save this Max -- ergo I'm eventually going to start a thread using your advice on how to remove the door panels and bang out some significant body damage. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, yeah. Three in a row. 3 down, 12 to go.

Anyway, I've been to Napa and they wanted to mix me a paint cocktail, like a pint for 120$. That's just the base-coat. I'm guessing the clear-coat or top-coat is essential. So, to specify my questions, #1. Does anybody know a premixed dual-coat distributor; a product similar to the pen mentioned by Pho3nix except in higher quantity? #2. -- The dealer touch-up set that Ascendant Max mentioned, would a couple of those be enough to cover the damage?

Estimate how much surface area one kit would cover. Thanks.

I tried that. They told me they didn't stock it for my car anymore. I guess I should have expected that on my 15 year old max. Anyway, I got the duplicolor pen/brush. Works great for what I used it on (little knicks, just watch out for adding too much). Got it from advance auto.
