Has anyone used the Honda touch up pens? Are they very expensive, and are they a good colour match? Other recommendations are very welcome.

Basically I've just put a chip and small dent in the side of my car. I was trying to load a stupidly heavy IBM PC into my passenger foot well, and knocked into the side of the car, on the rear arch panel about 5mm from where the door panel meets the rear arch panel. The dent is very shallow, and a bit smaller than a 5 pence piece. The paint has chipped off back to the bare metal, and will need something putting on it. This is also very small, but again noticeable

 

dent master can get to it via making a hole in door frame to pop it out. will then put a grommet in the hole. works fine and is covered by the door anyway

As for touch up - sorry no idea.

 

Think I'll get a dent removal firm to remove the other one I have on the passenger door, and ask their advice on this one before I do anything. I don't however like the idea of someone drilling holes in my door frames

I'll just get a pen ordered and see what it's like.

 

Glue a hole-punched-out circle of 2000 grit W&Dry onto a pencil-end rubber with cyano acetate & use it to feather the sharp edges of the chip.

Build up about 1/2 doz. thin coats of paint with teh brush, overlapping the chamfer.

Glue a fresh circle on your pencil & flat off the hartdened paint level with teh original.

Polist with scratch remover, cleaner, wax etc.

Should be almost unnoticeable.

 

good tip nick

This one's doing the rounds again - I think CC posted it here first.
