Default Paint touch up kit.

Well, like many of you I too have gotten chips in my paint. Last week I ordered touch up paint for my Polar White xB from Toyota. SRP $5.25 Part #00258-00068. The sales guy suggested a "Touch-up Paint Glob Remover Kit" SRP $13.99. So, I ended up buying it.

Today it came in and I tried it.

1, Added paint to my chip and let dry.
2. Wipe on "Touch up Magic"
3. Wipe glob of paint off.

It worked great! It filled the chip and left no glob. No sanding needed.

Afterwards, wipe on the clear coat and the chip was gone. I can't even see it anymore.

I'm not sure how it will work on dark colors but on my Polar White xB, it worked great.

the glob remover is a bit harsher on the darker colors, it can leave swirl marks in the clear if your not careful... follow the directions!! but I love that stuff

This so-call Glob remover is a third party item.

Here is some information if needed.

Turbo Shine & Touch-Up Magic
1702-H Meridian Ave.
San Jose, CA 95125
e:mail - turboshrine@frys.com

I found that if you add only enough paint to fill your chip is needed. Otherwise, you'll be rubbing for awhile.

How it works.

This so-call Touch-Up Magic slowly dissolves the new paint until it becomes flush with your Original paint to fill your chip. I think it's just paint thinner to be honest.

I guess your guess is as good as mine.
I only provided the information from the package.

Maybe if you write to the e:mail address they can tell you where it's sold?

I got mine from my Toyota dealer. I'm sure any parts store would carry it or a similar product.

The third bottle is a sealer.

Toyota touch-up paint part #'s work like this: 00258-00xxx with xxx being the 3 digit color code. For xB's Polar White is 068, Thunder Cloud is 1D2, Black is 202 (according to the spoiler color code anyways. i thought it was supposed to be black sand pearl), Black Cherry is 3P2, Camo is 6M7, Blue Onyx is 8P8. For xA's Phantom Gray is 1E3, Black Sand Pearl is 209, Indigo Ink is 8P4, & Silver Streak is 1E7.

I've been told hot lava touch-up, which is 8R4 if I'm not mistaken, will be available in 2 more weeks (if we're lucky).

Turbo Shine is probably at most Toyota dealerships. It just won't have a normal part # since it's aftermarket. I've got some sitting on the shelf here. They're small packages, plastic bagging, yellow tag, 2 sticky circles on the front to stick tubes of paint to. Haven't used it myself, but I've heard good things. The whole key to touch up paint is just making sure the area you're touching up is very, very clean. Use a little rubbing alcohol on the spot to get the layers of wax off and you'll be fine.
