smardav,

I've ordered touch up paint from a company called Paint Scratch in the past for previous vehicles and found they have a great product. Click here and go through the prompts to see what types of touch up paint products are available for our ISs:

http://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/select-color-1a.cgi

They have the Ultra White listed as the following but before you place an order, check your driver's side door sill for the exact color code.

Color Code: 083

I heard that Dr. Color Chip is very good and will blend in well. Anyone vouch for this?

Me too. The paint on this car is very weak and thin. Today I pulled my keys from my back pocket and accidentally nick the edge of the frame of the body. I can see paint chip now everytime I go into my car . Pissed at my self now. I should be more careful.

Try Touch Up Direct. They guarantee 100% match to factory paint color. And they also have aerosol spray cans for touching up larger areas. https://touchupdirect.com/
