Sterling mist touchup paint

Has anyone tried it on there car. I have a 5 inch scratch on my rear quarter panel and a couple of nicks on the hood. The scratch is down to a white color, I think its the primer. How well does the sterling mist touch paint work. I still debating whether to touch up myself or go to the body shop. Help is greatly appreciated

I've used the one from courtesy nissan sells. It's stock nissan paint. I use the touch up paint only on small spots because the color is actually alil lighter then stock. So you can notce it if you look close up

I'll tell you in a couple of hours. I'm in the middle of touching up the forty paint chips in my hood and bumper, using KT3 touch-up paint and Langka. Waiting for the second coat of touch-up paint to dry, then I'll finish...

>>>>>>>Update: The Langka stuff works great, but the end result is - much better than just having paint chips, but definitely not perfect. Guess I'll install that clear bra I bought...<<<<<<<<<<<

Courtesy Nissan is where i will be ordering my touch up paint from if i go that route. i bet the scratch will be at least $100 to get fixed vs. $10.

Paintscratch.com sells what I have found to be the best matches for color. I have a majestic blue, so I haven't tried the other colors obviously but I loved what they had. A jar of blue, a jar of clear coat, what I do is mix the two half and half on a lil piece of plastic or something, then use a toothpick, works like a charm.

I've not had the best luck the with touchup paint...it is lighter than the rest of the car...not exactly the look I was going for.
