Default Touch-up paint?

Duplicolor doesnt have my exact paint. I have a 95 with the forest green. Would I have to go to a dealership?

I got my touchup paint at a stealership for $27. Money well spent if you ask me, it's the only way to be sure you're getting the same color your car is...and you really have to suck at life to screw it up.

Question. I have a gash in my paint on my front end where some asshat hit me. No damage to the fender's integrity, just the paint. Would it look better to hit it with touch up paint, or leave it black where the paint is gone?

This is where you ask yourself the big question...risk messing up the touchup paint and dealing with that, just leave it as it is and deal with the pain of seeing your paint in it's current condition FOREVER, or pay a small fee to fly me down there to do it...Don't worry, I don't charge much
lol
