Nasty ding in my hood

[Peter B]

I was washign my car yesterday and noticed a ding on my hood. I think it came from my comute to work. They are re-paving 495s and like any government project the contractors are taking their sweet time. One morning the road will be changed... then for two weeks nothing. Then some more progress and then more nothing. ******* slacker contractors!

Anyhow I have had a few bits of asphalt get thrown up agains my car from trucks and such. This is probably what made the scratch in my hood. It isn't very big but it is rather deep. It appears to go down to the metal, as I can see some silver in it.

I want to get some touch up paint. I know mazda sells their own touch up paint but I have not been able to find the right color. My MS3 is Metropolitan Gray. Its an 08.5, just about a month old. Anyone know where I might be able to find some metro gray touch up paint? Or have any other suggestions?

thanks

-Pete

I suspect that Mazda is behind in such things as touch-up paint. I wouldn't be surprised if Dupli-color has it out before Mazda does. My CWP has a nick on the front bumper that I haven't been able to fix yet. At this point, just keep it waxed, so it doesn't begin to rust.

Isn't the bumper plastic? FWIW, I got CWP touch-up paint from Rosenthal Mazda online.
