Are they through the paint or arre they buffable? Take a pen over it and if you feel a bump then it will need touch up, but if you cant feel a bump then it is most likely is buffable.
You can get touch-up paint at any parts store or any Ford store.

I will also vouch for Paint Scratch . They match the OEM color perfectly!

Originally posted by SVTMike: I will also vouch for Paint Scratch . They match the OEM color perfectly!ACK! That stuff is ridiculously overpriced! My shop will mix you a perfect OEM matching bottle of DuPont paint for under $9. Even Auto Zone sells touch-up bottles just like those, and they're much cheaper.

Even Auto Zone sells touch-up bottles just like those, and they're much cheaper. True, its kinda expensive, but I couldnt find Prarie Tan in a spray can. Even a couple of paint shops wouldnt do it. So its worth the money sometimes. Guess Im the 3rd to say it matches great.

Can't get Spruce green easily either. Common colors can be had at Pep Boys or RS Strauss. Some colors are difficult to find. Sp far, only paint scratch has Spruce Green (FS)
