Ok, I have a few scratches on my rear bumper where I was backing up and had the clutch pressed in and let off the brake for a second and the car rolled back a few inches and barely brushed our chain length fence beside the house. There are a few fine scratches on the rear bumper beside the exhaust. I need to know where I can get some touch up paint or one of them paint pens or whatever with the factory Cosmic Blue Color? Any help is appreciated.
Factory touch up paint?

Mazda had been sending a jar of touch up paint awhile after the car is purchased. I bought mine in Feb. 08 but have not received mine yet. Bummer!! You might check with the Dealer. Another Bummer!

Got mine at the dealer, a little over $7 I think.
Yup. Chemicals have to be shipped via ground. Usually takes 2 days to get the parts.
So if its ordered on monday, it would be there by thursday. Or whenever the dept recieves its stock order from the warehouse. Contrary to most beliefs, parts depts dont stock copious amounts of everything.
there are regional warehouses taht supply parts to the dealerships, and they are usually 1-2 shipping days away.

Why would you buy a $7 item online????? Get the paint code of the plate in the door sill, call a dealership to see if they have i it, go get it....
I have a clear bra on my car which helps a lot but i still have a couple high up chips from doing 140 or so
Probably because the area around the touched up mark had defects and flaws. Marring and swirls (be it majorly swirled, or just lightly) can change the hue of color of the car. If the panel was corrected, they would probably match
It has to do with how the light reflects off the surface.
The paint is too thin to cover anything, couldn't even cover a rock chip. Using regular paint seems 100% better because you can actually fill the rock chip spots, then wet sand n buff and it looks like it was never there
cause where I go to school the closest mazda stealership is over 2 hours away...I am up in the mountains where walmart is the biggest thing in this place. (enguard)

I have bought a few things from them, and all was well. Don't know what they will charge in shipping for a can of paint but its probably cheaper than gas to go 2 hours and back.
since the process is the same u prime it and seal it too? rofl

Get your color code and go bug a body shop- some will mix you some up some won't
