Paint nick touch up pen

[spasm3]

I have a lot of nicks in the front of the Cx-5. Seems the mazda paint is hard and chips pretty easy. I'm thinking of trying this method of painting the nicks.

Anyone used one of these? Open to any feed back. Here is a video of how to use it, fast forward to 4:24 minutes.

Pretty interesting. I guess it gives a bit of street cred to the lowly touch up pen. I was expecting that he was going to give it some sort of buff job afterwards.

I use the normal auto store touch up pen. Looks OK if you don't get too close. Rust is the enemy. Make the touch up a monthly ritual.

The chips i have don't seem to be all the way through. I see white primer underneath, not metal.

It looks pretty cool. The only drawback I could imagine is that it might plug up a lot with touch up paints that flash off very fast. I just use a toothpick or straitened paper clip, but the tool probably gives much better control. The tool is very cheap, so, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I ordered one, will see how it goes.
