Touch-up paint price

I just priced out a set of touch-up paint from Mercedes. They wanted $36 for that little bottle (Obsidian black). Are there any online places that i can pick it up for cheaper?

thanks

You might want to check and see if that is for the color only or the color and clear stick combo. If it was the combo, that would explain the price.

Whole MBWorld forum on this type of topic "Detailing and Automotive Care"..search on it...

Also after shipping costs, wait time, etc. is this worth saving 5 or so bucks

20 is the official price, but my dealer gave me a discount for 15. Other places have them between 3-5 dollars but they dont match as well. If its black you might be get away with cheaper paint. Also dont forget about the clear coat. You can pick that up from any where for about 4 dollars.

$20 for the clear and the black paint sounds more like it, $35 is crazy. Where can i order the paint?

Here are 3 places where you can purchase touch-up.

www.autosharppen.com

www.langka.com

www.paintscratch.com


I purchased the auto sharp pen and it works great, better than the dealers.

I just ordered from http://www.autosharppen.com/ and they are not that badly priced. From what I've read and seen it does a great job! :p
