very carefully using a touch up stick. fiat dealers sell paint that is a good colour match.

Nail varnish

not a bad idea if you can get the right colour, its shiney and easy to apply

i know it works very well on a black car

It's always worked well for me as it dries rock solid and also means I can go out wearing nail varnish to match my car. Obviously doesn't have the same effect if you're male

Is there anywhere else I can get touch up paint? I'm doubtful dealers here sell them..

They should do its a standard FIAT part. If not you may need to get a bodyshop to make you up a tin to match you car.

If you open your tailgate and look up, there should be a silver label attached to it next to the lock. The label gives details of your colour name and the paint code. Take the code to Halfords and they will make you up a can of paint or an aerosol spray. Takes about 10 minutes and costs £10. Use a fine paint brush to fill up the chips.

You mean the bonnet, right? Got a quote already

Got a quote from interstate dealers on the price of an 8ml touch up paint for AUD23.30

But in my case it was the dealer (or whoever they used) that damaged the car, so I'm not going to pay for anything :slayer:
