Hi, I just got a used 02 ES300, but it's got some chips on the side and also on the front bumper. I ordered some pen primer, paint and clear coat from online and hope to get it in the mail this week. Does anybody have any suggestions on what's the best way to do touchup paint?

i have those pens, from the lexus dealer, and i am too much of a wimp to use them, lol. so i cant be of too much assistance. but, i have read some interesting ways to use them to come out with a decent finish (so do a search! - in this forum) i will say that i remember someone mentioning that they used some automotive tape to mask the area around the chip, fill it in with the paint and then use some really high grit sand paper to smooth the paint and make it flush with the surrounding paint. just do a search and you should be able to find something. hope this helps.

yea i have the pen to but you can still see the touch up paint spots at certain angles in the sun dont get me wrong it does the job but that is the only thing I hate about it, I would say go with Doctor Color Chip. Heard some really good complements of it.
