Most of you probably already know but heres a couple sites to get genuine Nissan parts and accesories. www.courtesyparts.com and www.custommaxima.com. QUESTION- Have any of you bought the touch up paint courtesyparts has? I was wondering if it was worth buying for small scratches. they have touch up paint and a more expensive touch up pen type....Any suggestions??

 

pen is cool cause you can do little scratches kinda easy. havent bought thru them tho. custommaxima is cool - good service and pretty nice people too

 

you can buy the touch-up pen at any Nissan dealer or Auto parts store...

 

for most colors you can go to autozone and pick up a can of duplicolor for 3.95 or whatever they cost in your area.

 

Irish--
How well does the pen work? Have you used it? Also, I noticed on your cardomain site, your maxima got eaten by the winter elements, did you get that resprayed? If so, how much was it if you don't mind asking. Thanks, man.

 

no haven't done anything with paint except touch-up with the pen and use some of that color-matching wax (which both work ok, I guess).....Not really all that worried about the paint unfortunately - still gonna drive up into the mountaints to go skiing every winter. Still park in a crowded garage at work where the car gets dinged. Not worth it to get it repainted...as long as nothing is rusting, I'm not sweating it too much...

I'm not too concerned with chips - I mean, this is my 3rd black car in a row (though my Honda hardly had any chips in the OEM paint after 130,000+ miles)

 

www.courtesyparts.com is the ONLY place I will buy OEM parts. Brian the parts guy sells me parts at cost. Saved my arsh when I needed my coilpacks, and a new MAF.

 

While on the touch-up topic, I suggest using a toothpick and removing the blob with this: www.langka.com.
