5. Ask for a paint sample of your car

The next time your car goes into the body shop for paint retouches, ask them to quote you on a small jar of paint; the size of a nail varnish bottle should do. Color matching is a tough task, and each shop has to make it to order, and if there are any leftovers, it might be worth their while to sell it to you. While this is no replacement for a proper job, it will tide you over on minor scrapes and scratches.
