Since it's made by Auto Talent..wouldn't it make sense to get it from Auto Talent themselves? The shop is in West L.A., right?

Just curious to why you wouldn't go with an OEM touch up pen though.

I have the OEM touch up kit. However, it comes in a little nail polishing brush which is too big for tiny patches of rock ships. On the other side, the pointy pen would be perfect to fill in those spots.

You can also do clear coat, but that should be it.

I use a toothpick broken in half. Pointy side for scratches and broken side for chips.

Use a toothpick. Get some drops of touch paint on a matchbook cover. Get some paint on the point of the toothpick and let the paint flow into the spot. Its more precise than the brush.


EDIT.. Didn't realize slant83 mentioned the same thing
