Default Touch Up Paint

Guys, I need to buy some touch up paint for a few small chips on my hood/bumper. I noticed that Honda has two options a pen and a bottle/brush. I am leaning towards the pen version just wanted to get y'alls input on recommendations.

Thanks,

I use the brush kind. No complaints other than use as little bit as possible for the best results.

I had a pen version for my Acura but never really liked it.

Read up / view up on how to properly use those paint pens. You need to build it up several times then buff it out to make it look perfect.

The pen sucks. Get the brush version and use a toothpick if necessary.

And shake it really well--the paint separates in the bottle!

Agree with the brush version and use a toothpick. Don't brush on the paint; dab the toothpick inside the crevice and build up the layers.

The ones I purchased from Honda last month came with both. $9/unit. Each unit was 1/2 ounce. Covered about 2 dozen chips.

Yes. I got the brush and didn't know it had a ballpoint pen too, until I got it. I guess its kinda hidden - you remove the outer most cap/tip.
