I have seen benz touch-up paint on Flea bay. I also believe there are a few dealers that will sell parts/accessories on-line.

Ask your ***--le dealer to order it - What BS. The genuine base coat/clear coat kit costs $1.30 in South Africa at all dealerships.

At Fletcher Jones in Las Vegas, I got the touch up paint bottle kit, but it was more like $25. I have had excellent service from the website I posted above for several vehicles.

You aren't kidding! $22 for it from the Mercedes Benz of West Chester in PA. BTW, applying that crap is hard! I'm horrible with applying both the paint and the clear coat!

The 'touch up pens' are very easy to use and get better results than the little bottle/brush applicators. They also last longer because the paint in the bottle isn't subjected to air/moisture when you're using it. The tips are spring loaded and you push on them to wet and they can be replaced separately ( $2 each ), although the original tip I've had for 6 years is still good (along with the paint!). If you are really particular you can follow the touch up application with Langka for even better results.

Where do you get the touch up pens? I like the sound of that.

Sorry Phil - I'm suffering brain fade today - I thought mleskovar was talking bottles when he clearly states pens
