Hi guys , just wondering if any of you ever buy a touch up paint from Nissan ?
i mean in Nissan Dealer .
if so , how is the quality ? cuz im thinking to touch up some of the rock chip damaged i got . they're very very small...
any help will be greatly appreciated .

Peace

 

I got a bottle of touch up paint from the dealer when i got the car. The paint seems to be just as good as any other. Might be a problem if you have metallic flakes on the paint though, those are usually harder to match up.

===>>> what is metallic flakes ?

 

It works...but doesn't look good unless you know how to use it. The first coat has to barely cover the chip. After the chip is slightly covered you have to put 1 or more thin coats. Always wipe all the paint off the brush and then dip the brush in the paint just enough to get the tip wet.

 

I bought one of these and it works great. Easy to use too. It matched perfectly.

Have had good luck with the touch up pen as well. Try:

Also, you may want to look at the kit from Langka. This helps smooth out the touched up area:

Good luck!

 

The touch up paint from Nissan works just fine. Just make sure you get a fairly fine (small) brush (from any arts/craft store) to apply it...this makes a huge difference.

 

THanks much for the comments guys .
i see that there are 2 different tip in the pen paint on the courtesy website .
what are the diff between those two ?
how long does it take for the touched up area to dry ?
coz i want to use clear bra after touching up all the rock chip .

 

I just bought a touchup pen from courtesy so I'm hoping the positive reviews bode well, I don't even know if the paint will need to be touched up or just the clearcoat, it seems like a pretty shallow scratch.

 

The nissan touch up paint SUCKS!!!!!!!! I bought a new one from the dealership (13 bucks) for my PPW Z and it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont buy that crap!

 

I bought a silverstone touchup pen from the dealer, and it is noticeably darker than the factory paint.

 

Not to imply you don't know how to use paint but did you shake it/mix it properly?

Improperly mixed paint can have a whole different color.

 

i finally decided to put the clear bra installed on my front bumper , hood , and headlights and fenders . they costs $550 w/ 3M film .
i didn't do any works on the few rock chips on the bumpers cuz it's too UNOTICEABLE , they're very small . i had 2 options before install the clear bra , whether to repaint the whole bumper or to touch up them first . but after went to one and another body guy , all said that it's only making it worse by touching up the damage , and the other options which is full repaint , it's not worth it regarding the stone chip is too small and not obvious .
