Advice on touch up pens.

Featured Replies

Today driving home on the motorway a lorry chipped up a stone which you could say was a garden pebble. This bounced off the corner of the windscreen (No damage) and then clipped the wing on its way down. there are two small chips that are quite rough to touch. Would a touch up pen if used correctly etc hide the damage and be unnoticeable?

hi i had the same thing happen to me rubble off a skip lorry chipped my bumper got a sea grey touch up pen from fords, but i put the paint on using a piece of rolled up masking tape, and built up the layer.

regards :)

The best way to use touch up pens is to not use the brush and use the end of a needle to "drop" the paint into the chip. After a bit of practice and patience you can get a reasonable repair, if your a bit naff with repairs you could always get a free quote from a local chip repair bod in your area.

I am guessing that i just fill the whole chip with paint and then lacquer once dry?

Thanks for the tips also :) in a bit of a tuff position for runs aswell.
