![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hey everyone! Still kinda new here but i love it
I finally purchased my dream of a 1993 sc300 5-speed in white but i have a question. I recently stopped by the dealership and bought a bottle of 051 Diamond White Pearl, but the touch up paint is very milky/thin. It is barely covering the few rock chips i am trying to cover up. I decided to go to kragen/autozone and they carry EVERY other color but 051?!?! So my question is, where can i find alternative touch up paint other than the dealership? I want to try duplicolor but noone carries it anymore
. Thanks Everyone!!

For small chips, I find that just applying the diamond white paint without the pearl clearcoat works better. I actually use 2in1 Toyota natural white (the one that has a brush and pen-tip). It matches the pearl white well without having to apply the second pearl coat. When initially applied, looks whiter than the car, but when dry, matches well. The pen-tip works wonders to fill in just the area of the chip.

You can get it in pen, aerosol can, and larger quantities.

Thanks for all the help guys. I believe getting the white 040 and applying that first then applying the 051 will do well.
