I took a chance and ordered some even though my paint ia rio yellow. They say it works better on darker colors, but I have some chips, and small scratches on my bumper, and a few here and there on the rest of car. I figured it's worth a shot. We shall see.

I had bought some for my tafetta white civic Si when I had it. It was ok. Colour was definetly better than OEM paint pens but the process isn't as simple and easy as the 1-2-3 process they show.
Best method is to use a tooth pick and use the spot-fill-flow method. This is basically letting the tooth pick pick up an excess of paint from the bottle, then finding a spot and letting the paint flow through the tip of the tooth pick onto the under laying surface. I found that small spots will usually take a good 3-4 hours of work in decent weather to get pretty good. Once you apply the clear coat, it will still look just like a spot fill. Those perfect results are from building up the clear coat they give you, then wet sanding down, and buffing. Definetly a lot of work for the average joe.
