Default Touch-up paint

Has anyone used that tough-up paint you can buy at the store...almost like a pen?

Yes, but not on my Lexus. I used on my white Nissan Maxima. It worked ok...not bad or good..easy to apply. I still like to use a toothpick to apply touchup paint. I think you have more control over the amount you put on.

There have been many posts on this in the past. Just do a search for Autovisual or just type in paint pen. Good luck

I don't use the pen. Go to the dealer and get the touchup paint there and then look online for a product called Lanka. It works very well. you actually put on too much touch up paint, and then use this product to slowly level it down to the original paints surface. I like the results I got with it.

Good luck,

Joel
