Thumbs up touch up pen

So I just used the Lex touch up pen [comes from the dealer] on my pearl white 01 Lex ... this thing is fabulous.

First I put on the paint from the paint end of the pen and I was kind of not terribly pleased beacuse the whites weren't matching ... but the spot I was working on wasnt in a terribly obvious place so I decided to go forward with my mini-project since I really don't want to deal with any serious rust or paint flaking later on down the road ...

I followed the instructions, waited the 15min between applications and then put on the clear coat [from the other end of this pen] ... and WELL, you put the clear coat on and hey! everything matches and the world is wonderful.

in short: the touch up pen from Lexus rocks

I remember a while back when I got paint pens from http://www.autovisuals.com, and I thought to myself what a great product this was compared to the paint brush style from the touch-up applicants offered from the dealer. Now it seems that the dealers are replacing their touch-up products with the paint pen style, and they come in many different factory colors. Sounds like the dealerships are finally listening to what the customers really want
