Hello all!
New Kid here. Just picked up my brand new MP3 500 and I love it. However, I noticed a scratch on the side (I'm of course blaming the dealer) and I was wondering if you guys and gals knew where to find touch up paint for the passion red color.

I look froward to learing a lot from all of you in what seems like a great community!!

Take it back to the dealer and get them to sort it out!

I use nail polish (on the scooter, not my nails) on the chips and scratches I feel are big enough to care about. It's just lacquer anyway.

But then, mine's black. Which doesn't really show defects like red does, especially since there are bug splatters on it that are at least six months old. Once it's dirty, you tend to overlook paint chips, defects, and scratches. I'd rather ride than waste time washing it, but that's just me.

I have the LX125 silver and need touch up paint. Had a lot of small scratches on the scoot when I rec'd it. One big scratch on the metal bit in front of the rear wheel.

The dealer chose to ship it on a freighter without ANY protection whatsoever. So somewhere between St. Maarten and Tortola, the scoot took several bumps and bangs. I can't seem to find touch up paint anywhere. Any suggestions?
