    Default Chips or Crack = Touch-Up

    I tried it and it is true = it works , better than the paint touch-up from dealer.

    It is a pen that matchs the exact year/color/make.

    I ordered it from internet and was delivered within a week.

    I am not sure I can post a link to the company , if not , let me know , admins.

    You can buy them in the auto stores now, at least I saw them at my local PEP BOYS.

    I saw a commercial for one of those on Speedvision, looks very simple :P

    I was lucky enough to still have the original touch-up paint bottles on my '89 Saab Turbo. One for paint and one for clearcoat, with a little brush. It works extremely well for the stone chips. Then I ran out so I went to get more but then figured out they want like $75 CND :roll:

    the uk halfords stores have got those type of nibbed touch ups...

    i got one for the vr6 which i'll sort out when the weather picks up....

    i also got some cocktail sticks to dab paint on where the brush and the nib arnt suitable, i got this tip from the uk's autoglym website
    www.autoglym.co.uk

    they said use a tooth pick but i soppose theses will do the same job!

    Last summer I had an aerosol can mixed up of Edwardian Grey Saab paint at a autoparts store in Montreal for like 20$... maybe 300-500 mL?

    Anyway I fixed my fender and engine compartment beautifully but I ran out of paint when doing my hood. If you look carefully you can still see the "shadow" of the light grey primer between the part I repaired and the original :x

    The Saab touch-up paint does come in a nice package though

    my touch up was only £7.99, but it come as a kit with primer and a chip scraper thing....



    when i first got it i picked the wrong colour only bacause the colour on the front isnt red and its not the colour inside the bottle as you can tell! only when i got home i found out that the bottles are see through so i went back and picked my correct colout up and turn it upside down to see the bottle and the colour was the same as mine exept for the colour sticker indicator! :roll:

    i know the sticker is for guide only but thats way off
