You can make it up perfactly with the $9.99 touch up paint at dealership and acetone

at auto zone.

After you apply the touch up paint on that part and wipe it up with a plain cloth wet by

little acetone!!!

the scratch was pretty small, its at the bottom corner on the rear bumper, not really noticable. its just that i have only gotten the car for roughly 2 weeks and i already scratched. i feel bad about it. i will take some pictures when i have time. i am having my mid term tomorrow, so might not have the time.

so the touch up paint you guys were talking about. is it like a bottle where you spray the paint onto the car? or is it like those universal paint, where you use something like a little pen? or like a small brush?

my dealership sold me one with a pen on one end and a brush on the other...

Pick up a kit like this...

I used something similar when my car was black... couldn't even tell it was there after i was done.

I really dont think anything can happen by complaining because Lexus as well as all manufacturers out there had to switch to water based paints which is thinner and im guessing weaker compared to the oil based paints they used to use.

At least our cars have very minimal orange peel

If Lexus paint doesn't work - there's always AutoZone

kind of hard to see. but the spot used to be black and that paint was the paint i got from Kragen which didn't really match. i just bought my touch up paint from lexus today for 13 dollars plused tax. i guess i will just let it sit around first and use it elsewhere later
