touch up paint? is it for a scratch? generally, touch up paint isnt that great and usually makes it look worse.

dude, why not just sand down the area, re-primer it, color match and clear coat?? I think touch-up is for light scratches...

You need to find a local store that sells auto paint. They can look up the color code for your specific vehicle and give you perfect matching paint.
You can buy a pint relatively cheap.BTW: touching up with a brush may not look as good as completely reworking the spot but it will keep the bad stuff from spreading and it looks fine from a distance (not to mention it's about 20x cheaper). tdaily |

if you really take your time, you can match the paint pretty well, that's if the paint is relatively new. a '95 is gonna be faded quite a bit from the original color
