Good Post...i almost bought a more expensive paint pen from another manufacturer but i just ordered mine from Courtesy.

On the body next to the door handle, my keychain with 6 or 7 keys smacked against the paint when i was holding my left hand against the doorway while i tried to pull a something out of the passenger seat with my right hand. So now i have a couple of scratches on the body...the pen should be perfect for thin scratches.

If the surface area is larger, i.e., areas chipped away i would use the brush touch up paint.

I got the pen from courtesy and I tried it the other day. It works pretty well. It's pretty easy to control. (I could never use the brush paints, but maybe that's cause I only used the crappy brushes that come in the paint bottle.) No complaints with the pen, though.

I got the pen in the mail the other day from courtesy parts--great site! Some truck threw a rock at me the other day (no I wasn't tailgating!) and nicked a tiny spot right next to my left headlight. I am just nervous about using the pen. Anyone get the Brickyard pen? Does the paint match exactly? I just don't want it to look obvious. All of my other cars I have used touch up paint on, the color difference was completely obvious (and I used dealer-sold paint too). Maybe it was because all of my other cars were red/faded a little??? Please let me know about the color match. Thanks
