I picked some up a few weeks ago and had to use it on a door jam where it got scratched. It worked well and look fine!

I got a tube of ssb last week, but haven't used it yet.

Any directions/suggestions for applying it?

i have some alabaster touch up paint ordered through a dealership. i haven't tried it yet, but i was already a little concerned that it won't match very well. white paint is supposed to more difficult to match than the darker colors (e.g. black). there are several online retailers of touch up paints that claim to be able to perfectly match any paint code. if the chrysler paint doesn't turn out well, i might try someone like paintscratch.com.

There are many people who think of the color white as simply primer to be used until the car is painted a real color. That being the case it really does not matter how well it matches.

YIKES!! So that what's causes the swirls. I've always wondered. You guys must have real power and I will be careful not to cross any of you again. Now please leave my car alone.
