I can speak for 2 of the colors for the touch-up paint.. The Spectra Blue touch-up is a bit darker and my buddy down the street has the Silver and it is a bit lighter.. Application wise it's pretty easy.. As for the price I have no idea.. My dealership gave me a bottle when I leased the GS but I don't think they are too expensive..

Hope that helps!

Check my post "Pic of my exhaust TIPS" and you'll see on my bumper many touch-up spots . Its a little lighter for the arctic silver. Its around $7 for the bottle at the dealer. I was kinda surprised it was that little, I was expecting it to me like $25

color match is acceptable and if it is a small rock chip, you will not notice the filled hole unless you are about 2 feet away. Make sure that when you buy the paint, ask if there is a base touch up paint to go with the final layer touch up paint. Both cost about $7. It looks much better than if the rock chip is left uncovered.

dealer gave me a bottle when i took delivery. i'd say the color match is so-so to satisfactory but i can certainly tell where the chips have been filled. the only true purpose is to retard paint corrosion.
