Default OEM Touch-up Paint

I bought both the OEM paint bottle and also the pen type applicator. Has anyone used either of them? I would think the pen is easiest to use. Does the paint go on thick? What about after the paint dries, can really fine sandpaper be used to buff out the painted areas? How well does the paint match?

I've never tried sanding the touch up paint but the color matches very well once it is completely dry.

Forget the sanding...I've got some car wax that will remove any excess, leaving only the chip filled. Bring the car over, we'll fix it today.

Thanks Bob! But I just got home from work a while ago and I'm beat. Gotta get up in a few hours to go to a birthday party. If I can get out of going to it I might give you a call.

You may want to try Langka. I hear it's great.

I know this is a bit of a late reply but... In my experience it doesn't match that great. The dealer used it on a few spots on my car, and I think the dings probably would have been less obvious if they had just left them alone. So I'd think twice about using it. Maybe if you have really godawful spots that you can't make any worse, then go for it.

It's a little on the ghetto side but I got some bumper plugs off a fellow SD S2K'er and they were not Silverstone. I Scotchbrighted them and painted them with the touch up paint (brush, no spray). Turned out well, can't even tell I painted them.


Kind regards,
Joe
