With either touch up paint pen or brush apply thin, light coats in smooth strokes; ensuring you only apply the paint within the damaged area. While most commenters say the paint matches almost perfectly, the Dupli-Color brand may not get all colors right. Some reviewers had trouble with white colors (though they almost perfectly matched our test car’s pearl white paint). Color came out great. The exact one. It seems easy to use, however wish they could’ve sent a video link on how to exactly use this product

It worked great for me. Any pearlized paint is hard to duplicate. … The secret to matching your pearl white paint for this particular pen is the second step top coat; it contains the pearl part of the paint. For me, it took three coats of the (topcoat) pearl over top of the base white allowing each coat to dry at least 30 minutes between coats.”

Leave the paint to dry for 15 minutes before applying any further coats from the car touch up pen, if no further coat is required, then leave to cure for 1 hour before applying the PaintNuts Clear Lacquer. If you’re using the needle point pen allow the nib to sit inside the scratch or chip and squeeze gently. In some situations, performing an effective touch-up may be too difficult since it might be necessary to repaint the entire affected surface, which is a costly and time consuming exercise.

We found the Dr. ColorChip paint repair system to be the easiest to use of all the car paint pens we tested. However, our vehicle has a three-stage paint job, and the Dr. ColorChip system is a one-stage system that does not perfectly replicate the color on our Ford Fusion Hybrid. Nevertheless, the Dr. ColorChip kit came close to being a perfect match and even outperformed some of the three-stage paint pens we tested. Our favorite feature of the Dr. ColorChip paint kit is the blending solution, which helped even out the paint and was simple to use. What Customers Are Saying Compatible with the C-Max, Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, Galaxy, Ka, Kuga, Mondeo, S-Max, Transit Connect & Tourneo from 2006 onwardsUse the same paint that was used originally to minimise any colour difference. Pastel colours are more forgiving than deeper colours. Product works very well and blends well. The only reason for 4 stars is that I had to figure out which was clear coat and which was the paint. Otherwise no complaints.

Paint match to vehicle is spot-on. Tip on paint pen is unusual and after a few uses is falling apart.” Quality or invisibility of touch-up are not a matter of paint performance, but are one of skill and technique. If the same sample of paint is used, applied with the same equipment, loading, technique, pressure, direction of lay-off and preferably by the same painter, an invisible touch-up can be expected. However, it cannot be guaranteed.

Unless specifically stated in a contract, the professional painter is not specifically responsible for damage caused by others nor should they be under any obligation to attempt touch-up or provide other forms of repair to rectify this damage. This can however be covered by a separate remuneration agreement between both parties or as an ‘extra’ to the main contract. The paint takes a little while to dry, but the Dupli-Color delivered the best results among the paint pens we tested and came the closest to reproducing the factory paint color. What Customers Are Saying Touch-up paint pens don’t last quite as long as your car’s factory paint job. However, the best car paint pens should last around five years. How do I get rid of deep scratches on my car? Don’t expect perfection. This filled the chip in the paint and made it less noticeable, but it is far from a perfect fix. It was easy to use.”
