Unhappy First paint chip! wah!!!

I took a little (but sticky) bug off my car today and a tiny bit of paint came with him (darn bug musta had a hard head eh?) Should I get some paint at the dealers and touch up before I get my clear bra put on?

Oh wow! The first thing you need to do is realize that missing paint just gives your car character. It's kinda like freckles on a person. I honestly touch up my paint every time I wash it.

You can find an exact match on touch-up paint here at www.paintscratch.com

I've bought several cans form them and it's a great match.

Wow, amazing site! What type (of application) do you recommend? I think something the size of a small bottle of nail polish bottle would last a long time! Is that too optimistic of me?
