Touch up paint

6spdChick · 05-30-2006, 01:48 PM

Is there anything special I need to do to get the pen side of the touch up paint working? I tried to use it like the directions said but there isn't any paint coming out. Anything I can do? Or should I just tell them it's working I need a new one?

Personally I never liked the pen applicators very much. Very inconsistant. I would recommend a very good quality fine paint brush. You have more control that way. Just takes a little bit on the chipped area. Pens sometimes lay down blobs. Just got my car this weekend so no chips yet but I know they're coming soon. Better go order my touch up paint now. Good luck with you touch up work.
