Default Anyone used touch up on freedom top???

My wife backed into the garage door yesterday. It hit the hard top. Just minor blemmishing. Not really like a scratch. It did take the paint off. Now you can see the white/fiberglass showing. Do they make something from the dealer to touch it up. Maybe a black wax/polish? Seems like it would absorb a color on the bare fiberglass. Give me some ideas please.

I believe I read on here that you can buy the exact touch-up color at your dealer.

How about for the khaki hard top? I actually have a couple of spots where you can see the white fiberclass. I was going to use a sharpie, heard it does well, but I cant really find a good color to use.

So I can go to the dealer with the paint code "RXF" black and get a touch up? Sounds easy.

No, unfortunately you cannot go to the dealer and get a tube of touch up for the top. I have contacted Mopar in the past and it is just not available. Do a search though and I think someone found a website that sells some!

I spoke to my dealer today about the touch up paint. I have about a 6 inch scrape in my top so a traditional type touch up paint wouldnt work but he said he could order a bottle of hard top touch up that would come in the small nail polish type bottle. Parts guy told me to check an auto parts place like Levine to get a spray bottle.
