Has anybody any luck with touch up paint? I noticed a few chips on the top of the car, and I'm doing cosmetics on the car this weekend, curb rash repair, full polish detail and hopefully paint touch up.
Thanks

I Used Lexus Paint Pen (one Side Has Base Paint In It And Other Side Has Clear) Works Well. Each End Has A Felt Tip. A Little Tip Is To Use Matches For Touch Ups!
Good Luck

Did you buy the paint pen at the dealership?..how much?...I have couple little rock chips I wouldn't mind touching up (I'm a little OCD when it comes to my cars).

I've read good reviews, but my chips aren't significant enough to spend an extra $30 on.
You can see my chips here, not too bad... I'm sure I'll discover more once the car is clean and it's under the lighting at my detailers place.

I have an obsidian black car and I had a nasty door rash courtesy of some idiot at Starbucks a few months ago. An area, the size of a penny on one of the rear passenger door was nicely scraped to white.
On my last service trip to Newport Lexus, I asked to buy touch up paint and the tech put it in my car for me and the cost for the Lexus touch up paint was $11.64.
And then on my next detailing visit, my detailer applied the touch up paint and the result was it looked like......touch up paint on a black car. The white was all gone so it no longer attracts the attention of my eye every time I walk by my car, but if get up close you can obviously see it's touch up paint. But this is to be expected of any touch up paint I think.
What were you expecting?
