Not too sure what color yours is but I bought the "duplicolor" pen style touch up paint, goes on easy, and matched the color of my I35 nicely. Damn rock chips

The duplicolor paint pens can be picked up at Autozone for about 1/10 of that.

I don't have personal experience with paintscratch. I've got some leftover paints for touch-ups when I refinished my bumpers.

Tricoat color is difficult to match. I think it all comes down to how big the area is and how well you want it to match. For small areas such as rock chips Autozone pen is sufficient I guess.

i think i have to get some touch up paint soon. i've had the worst luck so far this week. first, while on the highway, the hubcap from some other car flies off and shoots towards my car and hits my door. then, after i get off the highway, a truck passes me and shoots tons of gravel at my car (it sounded like a million tiny fists punching my car).
so it seems like duplicolor paint pens are the way to go, huh? are they easy to apply?

my aunt just gave me some touch up paint she got with her car but the color is "ebony black"; does anyone know if it'll match the black on my I30?

The only way to make sure is to compare both cars' paint codes.

We have cheaper touch up kits than paintscratch but no touch up pens unfortunately.

Hmm, I scraped the bottom of my front bumper... I think I'll drop by autozone and see how those pens look.

I don't have the codes, you'll have to look it up in your car. I believe it says how to in your owner's manual. If I remember correctly, its on a plate in the engine bay.
