Touch up paint or KIA Body and Paint Service Centre

Hi fellow KIA and Metal Bronzers, my ride got scrapped by something on Friday. Paint got scrapped off and exposed the bright shiny layer beneath. Not sure whether it will rust or not. (But I curse the person who scratched it though. )

So I'm thinking of either getting a touch up pen paint, or just go back to KIA's Body and Paint Service Centre for them to touch up.

So I hae some queries.

1. How much will the touch up pait cost? Can I get it at Autobacs, or must go back to KIA?

2. If I am to go tp KIA's Body and Paint Service Centre, will they wax and restore the area that they touch up? And how much will it cost?

Any replies will be appreaciated.

to what i know:
1. i asked from my se some paint before i got the car. so when you servicing i think can ask them for some?
2. i dont know. nv try b4 and don't want have a chance to try it too.

hope this helps. cheers.

I went to Autobacs to buy the paint, but it seems they are out of stock for Metal Bronze.

And the minah salesger like not interested to serve me also, so didn't bother to ask too much. Forgot to check the price. Sianz...

Anyone knows what's the price of the touch up pens?

Hi Eviltrap,

Sorry to hear that. These people are real "Sick". I was at Autobacs last week and I saw the touch up pens. guess they might not have your colour, only black, silver and did notice the other. The price is $11.00 each.

I though jhuang has a good suggestion. Maybe you might like to call your SE and ask him/her for a favour. Get it for you so that you cna collect from your SE.

Hope it helps.

cheers

Thanks for your suggestion.

But based on what I know of my SE, he definitely won't give me a free one.

Anyway, I just went down to LK to purchase a bottle of the touch up paint. Cost me S$8.56 inclusive of GST.

I've already covered up the metallic part where the paint was scratched off. Not very well done, but I guess it will do. Just hope I won't kena anymore scratches now.

Ask any sis in this forum. All will know how to use.

On a serious note, if there are light scratches or nicks, use it to cover the scratch or nicks. But the end result may not be to your liking, or it may end up worse.

softly and gently

insert a toothpick into the bottle. then dab a bit on the scratches. do not over dab.

Went to car paint shop last month to repair 2 deep scuffs at the edge of my wheel well (caused by a scrambler trying to squeeze past - ). He also managed to dent the plastic bumper portion. So they heated up the area, popped it back up and resprayed half the front bumper. Good as new. Damage: $100.

Sound like a good deal.. Hows the quality of the paintwork? And can provide the workshop name?

Good. Can't tell the diff with original paintwork. Bump totally gone. AHA auto image - AMK Autopoint, level 4.

hw much is the touch up paint?

$100 as stated above. Everything included.
