Paint pen vs. Paint touch-up brush

David776895 · May 5, 2017

I have a few small chips in the paint, I am debating if I should use a paint pen, small brush tip, or not touch it at all.

Any suggestions from people on here that have used any of them? Thanks

the pen has never worked for me. the brush works and serves its purpose. just dont have too much paint on the brush and dont expect it to look perfect.

Same thing, peel and fill it in, or leave it alone

I like to use a toothpick on my rock chips.

I would think that should be covered by warranty, right?

You're right about not getting too much paint on the brush. Also, watch out because excess paint will slide down to the tip of the brush and you're end up with a big glob.

I've gotten the pen to work on a couple and, once it does work, it's great.

This.

Used the brush for numerous spots...did the job but it's far from perfect.

Thanks everyone... Does everyone just grab Mopar from their dealership?

Autozone had my color. Probably cheaper than dealer

I got mine from the dealer, it has a small abrasive tip to clean the chip, the factory correct paint, and a separate top coat to seal it, kinda like clear nail polish. If you have a deep enough chip you will need to build up the paint, put some on, let it dry, repeat til it gets level enough. Only problem I've had is I've opened the top coat part upside down once or twice.

Amazon had them for a good price. I just used one for my wifes car.

Keep in mind the top coat that it comes with is worthless.
