Default touch up pens

Anyone know where you can get a touch up pen that matches the color of the Z. I want to touch up rock dings but would rather use a pen than brush. Do you clear coat these touch ups after?

the pen has the clear coat on one side and the paint on the other side. It has two tips.

IMO, brush is better, BUT the pen is more convenient. I had to paint some bumper plugs and I used the pen. Not too good as I was starting on a bare surface and had to constantly push the tip to get more paint to the tip... each push would cause a not-so nice mar in the smooth paint finish that I was striving to achieve. The brush would've been much better. Now for some minor touch-ups on the Z, then pen is more fine and easier to work with than the inherent thickness of using a brush. My $.02

Personally, I just get a toothpick and touch it up that way. It's nearly impossible to touch up cleanly with the pen or the brush.

I use the paint that comes with the brush but went to an art store and got the perfect brush to do the touch up, works great. The one with the paint is to wide and thick.
