Touch Up Paint for Car, Two-In-One Fill Paint Pen for Auto Minor Scratch Repair, Quick And Easy Waterproof Scratch Remover Pen 0.4 oz, Car Accessories

Easy to use and good coverage.

I had some nicks and little scratches in my paint and this did the job to cover them. If you look closely, obviously you would notice, as it's not 100% perfect...but it's pretty good and you wouldn't notice it unless you were specifically looking for the touchups.

Did not color scratch and it’s thick

paint is too thinmessy trying to use the brush

To start, this isn't really a paint pen, it's a long stick with a small brush at the end. I didn't love the result of this paint. It's quite thick and was an almost goopy paint even after shaking it extensively. Trying to paint it on to the scratch in a way that didn't reach far outside of the scratch in an uneven kind of way proved impossible so I tried to wipe it down into the crack to level it with the surface and that really didn't work either. It maybe looks better than it did to a tiny degree, but I don't think it's anywhere near as shiny as the black all around it. It is going to be one of those touch ups that looks better when the car is dirty but stands out ugly when the car is clean, I suspect. I'll try to buff it smoother and shinier next, but I was expecting to be able to be more precise than this with this unit.

The product page and product label both claim that this has both a pen and a brush. It does not. It only has a brush. Other similar touch up paints can either twist off for brush or pull cap directly outward to access a smaller pen for detail work on very small chips. When you use a brush, you can more easily work a larger damage area, but you get less control -- one work around is to use a toothpick instead of the brush. Also, when you use the brush, it holds alot of paint and it tends to drip off easily and cause the paint to run (so you need to be careful about dripping). Make sure you have dry rag and wet rag with you to address any dripping you encounter (particularly when painting on vertical surfaces which is where most scratches occurs).Despite these shortcomings, if you take your time and work carefully and possibly use a toothpick to help you out, you can still achieve good paint results for minor dings, scratches, and chips. You just have to be patient and learn as you go. The black pearl paint is an excellent match for my 2012 black Corolla so I am happy about that. Current price around $8 is a pretty good deal.

I used this paint 'pen' on my aluminum rim which had some curb damage. the 'pen' is not a pen at all, and this needs to be corrected in the listing description. it is a tube of runny paint with a screw on brush. it suggests it is color smart, but it is like any color. I used two coats and filled in the worst of the scratches. But, my wife didnt notice at first that I had even applied it. I think the problem on aluminum finish and that of many automotive paints, is that in order to get a reasonable color match, there needs to be high shine finishes available. matte finishes don't do much except sometimes make the damage stand out more. I do believe this paint (like all paints) can protect against rust. Due to the mislabeled product and lack of glossy finish, I will rate as a 3 star product.

I needed just a little paint to touch up chipped barrettes and this paint pen fit the bill! But it’s not a pen — it has a brush. The first time I tried to use it, I shook it to stir up the paint and by the time I was ready to open the cap, I had in mind a marker (because that’s what it looks like and I was distracted with the TV all that time). So when I opened the cap, the fluid paint spilled out onto my lap! So folks, don’t get distracted like I did. The paint is fluid and it was very easy to do the touch-ups that I wanted to do.
