The Problem

Your car is subjected to abuse every time you back out of your driveway. It might be blasted by sand as you pass by a construction site, or pounded with pebbles as you swerve around that meandering dump truck, or showered with gravel as you zip over a fresh asphalt patch. Even parking your car at the mall or the supermarket exposes it to scrapes from the person parked next to you opening their door.

There are only so many precautions you can take. You can park in a spot so far away it will take a global positioning system to find your way back. You can drive around with a car cover on. You

These pens were promoted once before and I tried them. I can say they are not a great option on metallic finishes as the metallics tends to gather unevenly making a color mismatch. Could be a dynamite product on solid colors.

I'm thinking about getting it. It says this on their site. "Look into buying an AutoSharp Pen from AutoVisuals in California. They have a toll free number (877) 701-7780. This product is a felt tip pen with touch up paint inside and runds about $20. It's simple to use and you never have the problem of using too much paint to fill a chip.

I've got one in black....works great IMO and is very easy to use because you can control the flow of paint coming out.
