    Is it possible to buy a touch up paint stick / tube for Ferrari colors? I need NART Blue. I can't seem to find anything on line. I just want to touch up a few nicks in the paint at the front lower bumper area.

    PPG has a website that I ordered my swatters blue from and it matched perfect.

    +1. I gotten both bottle and spray from then, and color match is excellent.

    So it seems paintscratch.com is the consensus? My color is shown as on the front bonnet PPG color tag "Blu Nart 523". The sample on paintscratch.com did not seem to match the color on my car, but their website says that they don't have good color samples, but indicated that if they have the code, it does not matter and will match up. So, I guess i'll go ahead and order the 1 oz bottle / w brush + clear coat.

    Doesn't the dealer carry this? I had to give them the exact color code, but they said they could get rosso for my car...

    Of course, anything better than toothpicks for applicators would be nice. :D

    What year is your car? Ferrari was not using a clear coat until, at least, after the 348.

    Taint nothing better that a toothpick. After a week's curing, cut an old T-shirt wrapped around a large flat eraser with a little polish, and rub lightly. When smooth, wax the spot. Gone!

    Did you say fill it initially with a toothpick? What type of polish did you use to smooth it out?
