I need to find some touch-up paint (purple) for where it is chipping off. Is that something I can get at Auto-Zone, etc. or is there a specific place you all go for bicycle specific touch up paint?
Not going to be at Auto Zone, you need to find a auto body paint supplier that sells to the public and mixes to match. Often not cheap and some don't do small touch up bottles, only pints and up or spray cans including 2 part where you whack a button on the bottom to mix it before using, fun stuff.
If you go down the wet sand road, I would encourage 2000 or even 2500, you can always go more coarse but wishing you hadn't can be a lot more work.
