TomsFocus Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Any recommendations for a cheap & easy touch up pen? Not looking for a perfect repair, just to make a couple of scratches a bit less obvious. Would prefer a pen to a brush. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tom, I was waiting for someone smarter than me to answer, but failing that, I simply got my last 'pen' on eBay after supplying the secret paint code. Not perfect, but I have an old rust bucket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, it was shaped like a proper pen, but unscrewing the barrel just revealed a brush like a traditional touch up pen. I rarely use a brush preferring to dip a wooden cocktail stick in, and dabbing it on, I find I have more control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'd need a broom handle for this particular scratch... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanfp Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I think I got mine from Halfords. Seemed OK but for tiny scratches I like the idea of a cocktail stick. I found the nib put down more paint than I wanted and the pAint ended up proud of the original surface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 I ordered a Hycote brush-type last night. Cost under a fiver on eBay. Not really what I wanted but hopefully will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
