Default touch up paint pen

I think there is a vendor on here that sell the touch-up paint pen. I have a few small paint chips and dont want to repaint the panel right now until I purchase and install a bodykit. Anyone know where I can find this info and if they have colors that are exact matches to the stock lexus colors? Thanks for the help

Rich, the only company that pertains to this genre' and is listed in the CL sponsors page that I could find is Langka, and since their products work with other touch-up products and not their own, the best I can suggest is ;

http://www.autovisuals.com/

You can look up your paint code right there on site.

Hope this helps you a little.

P.S. I could swear Autovisuals was once a vendor here, but I may be wrong about that.

Paint code for Millenium Silver is 1C0
And, yes Auto visuals the seller of the Auto Sharp pen was previously a vendor here on Club Lexus. They must have dropped their sponsorship in the last month or two. I bought the product but haven't tried it yet.

I have heard of the autovisuals from over on E46fanatics because they are still a sponsor there and they all say great things about it. Anyone know the paint code for the alpine silver GS, or where I can look it up?

Hey Dan, are there any tips or tricks you can give me to get the best results. I have heard of a kit that you can buy to go allong with the paint pen that helps to smooth out the blot and makes it blend in better with the surrounding paint. Do you know where to get something like this and any tips to make it work?

Thanks for the help guys

Hey Rich, you can look it up on the doorjamb on your car. Found this visual below by using the search feature for 'paint code' on CL This one below is for black (not yours), silver will be alpine silver on 98 99 and millenium silver 00+ and i don't know those codes by heart



Edit just noticed on that same thread where I found the code graphic a nice color chart

Rich, that would be the Langka product. It does exactly what you described and may be worth your time to check it out;

Thanks for the help guys. I ordered the pen from autovisuals. It was $16.99 and I used a $5 off coupon from over at E46fanatics. I hope they dont catch on

Thanks for the info Dave. I actually looked at the door jam 2 minutes after I posted that and saw that the paint code was 199, besides the autovisuals website has the paint code in its data base, all you have to do is put in year, make, and model and color. Pretty easy

Thanks Dan I may have to try that. Anyone have experience or if it is worth it?

It is E46. I got it from E46fanatics I would advise you to get extra tips. I didnt but I think I am going to order some for future use. I just got mine today. Very fast shipping, less than a week from when I ordered it. I am also going to order the other kit that is supposed to help smooth/blend the paint.
