Car Touch Up Paint
The better alternative!

Brush Tip Applicators

Most people are familiar with this type of touch-up paint applicators. While they offer a quick and easy fix for stone and rock chips in your cars paint, they also come with their share of drawbacks.

• Requires steady hand for precise application.
• Paint is often temperamental: either too runny, or too thick
• Thick paint creates the dreaded "bird dropping" look.
• Runny paint drips and sags without filling rock chip; requires multiple applications to build-up paint.
• Short shelf life of paint>

Pen Tip Applicators

For most people including myself, these pen tip applicators seemed like the answer to the above problems when these pen tip applicators started making their way into the car paint touch up market. At a casual glance, they seem like the perfect fix; precise control and application of the paint into tiny rock chips in your cars paint. At least it seemed like the perfect fix to inefficiency of the brush tip applicators. But it ends up as a classic case of trading in one set of problems for another!

• Hard to get paint to flow from precise tip; constantly a problem.
• Suitable for paint chips of the mostly round nature.
• Not suitable for any deep scratch of any length.
• Short shelf life.

Insults Come in Many Forms

Your cars paint will be required to endure many forms of insults in the form of car paint scratches and chips. Let us examine these unsightly aesthetic insults, before we examine the solution.

Road Rash

This is simply what happens to the front end of your car over time, as the paint gets chipped up from debris hitting your cars paint at high speeds. Over time, the many chips can really detract and diminish the overall beauty of your cars paint. When thinking about trying to fill hundreds of paint chips on your front end, it might seem like a futile task. If you start with all the bigger chips, and work down towards the smaller and smaller chips, you will stand back and be impressed as to the overall look of the front end of your car. But using the traditional brush or pen tip applicators is a time consuming task.

Scratches

Scratches come in so very many shapes, lengths, widths, etc. Whether someone has keyed your car, or your car door has taken a shopping cart to the side, much can be done to cover up and hide life's little mishaps. I have seen some really bad repairs done to long scratches due to the hasty decision carried out by an unsteady hand.

No one would deny the dramatic effect car touch up paint has on the front end of this Honda; what we want is a better solution to the inefficiency of the traditional car touch up paint applicators!
