Recently bought myself an Impreza and decided to get rid of the huge aftermarket spoiler and replace with the standard low level spoiler

Swapped them over tonight and where the old spoiler sat it's damaged the paint in a couple of small areas

Was looking for a decent touch up paint online, can anyone recommend one? Or is it better just to grab one from the main dealer?

I know I'm not going to get it perfect but would like to make a 1/2 sensible attempt. Last cheap kit I bought for an old clio didn't cover well at all

Chipex are the only kits I use. Perfect colour match every time.
They're tricky to get the hang of, but it's worth the effort.

Just out of interest, did the spoiler rub right through the paint or just put marks on the top?

Cheers for the reply, I did find that one but it's really useful to have a recommendation as its to easy to make things look good on websites only for the to arrive and be rubbish

The spoiler has scratched the lacquer in a number of places which I hope will polish out and has gone through in a couple of places. In an ideal world I'd paint the boot lid but can't really justify it on a £2k daily driver if I can make it look 1/2 sensible with a touch up kit
