Heya OP -Ok for a starter -you don't want to pay $20 and don't want a spray can. Ok if you are really lucky and get a color match then one of the Holts color touch brushes is the answer for about $11.00 each at ripco otherwise your solution is to buy one of the small spray cans -Holts again is one brand.Then buy a fine paint brush and spray some paint into the cap. Let some propellant flash off and use the brush to paint the bits needing it. Frankly though you are pushing it to get a metallic finish brush painted on that doesn't look like(insert swear word) for under $20 Another possibility depending on the color is -wait for it. Nail varnish Or metallic paint from a kitset model shop

Total Body Shop Supplies in Lower Hutt do small touch up packs if you give them your car`s paint code number. See if there is one of those near you .

Yep, you'd be surprised the amount of "cool" colours ya can get in nail polish.
Don't tell anyone but i may have possibly stood checking out nail polish for a "little" while some time ago when SWMBO was doin' something in some shop.

If that's the one where dozer works then OP DON'T go there. The guy WILL rip you off and be as arrogant as he can, he is a complete (insert ya own word here).
Yeah yeah slander this & defamation that, i couldn't give 2 rats because i've known the guy since the late '90s when he was in Palmy and i know his business practices.

Actually, I don`t know ! All I know is that I`ve variously got stuff from them for a Mitsi ute, an M Spec BMW, a Volvo and my current Benz and the colour match has been perfect in all four cases . and never felt that I was ripped off either, quite the opposite in fact. Must have caught him on a good day in all four cases.
