Touch Up Paint Rules!

I picked up some touch up paint from the dealer on the way back from work to cover up the screws holding in my new front lip. It was like the best $5 Ive spent in a while. After dabbing some paint on the screws I walked around my car looking for scratches, abrasions, etc and covered them up pretty well.
Ive heard bad things about touch-up paint in terms of making something that looks bad worse, but I really believe on small jobs it does more than an adequate job ofcouse only time will tell -- I just did some painting this afternoon.
Oh yeah - the paint comes with a pretty good brush too.

What was your beef with it, does the paint not match? Or is it something else?

nobody pays 1500 for the kit.. I got mine for $670 and most people can get them for less than $800, you can also just get the front lip etc.. check out the group buy section, avalonracing.com, custommaxima.com and many other places you see listed around this place.
