About touch-up Paint Options

[hioctane]

How much would "do it yourself" touch-up paint cost?
And how would apply the paint on my car? I don't really know how it works. I have couple of minor scratches that i want to get rid of. Does anyone know the touch-up paint code for a BLACK celica, so I can match the paint on my car?

The colour code for your black should be on the engine bay plate next to the
trim/ model code. I think my black was toyota 202?

If they're minor scratches you may be able to use a scratch remover like Meguier's Scratch X. Even if you already tried a scratch remover I would highly recommend Meguier's Scratch X as it is SUPER at removing surface scratches.

As for your color code, if you can't find the code just go to your local Toyota dealer and they'll be able to help you. A .5 oz bottle is about 6 bucks.
