Default Zircon Blue Touch Up Paint

Hey, Folks -

There are a couple of minor scratches on our '03 XK8 - mostly on the front bumper. I've found several sources for touch up paint, but wondering if anyone here has some experience with sourcing a particular brand that is a close match.

Thanks!
Mickey

The folks at automotivetouchup.com have always been spot-on for me. Provide them with the correct paint code and expect a perfect match. I always order the bottles with the small touch-up brushes as part of the cap. I have never tried their spray cans....

Touching with a brush is never going to be any good ..fill the scratch ..sand with 800 spray and lacquer.
