Do you have any links about this? Just wondering what's different between those.

Try your local Acura dealer.
you'll need your paint code.

I bought some touch up paint for 8 bucks.

canada also has touch up paint LOL. your local dealer is your best bet -- that way you are ensured of as close a color as your vehicle has (and even that is not 100%) as the way youll be applying touch up paint will not be the same as how your vehicle was originally painted.

canada touch up paint (correction) has clear on one end and paint on the other and has felt tips. The one you get from the acura dealer in the us is mixed together and comes out like a ball point pen. I don't think you can get the touch up paint stick at the dealer in the us? i do own both

not exactly sure what you mean by a paint stick. I have bought the touch up paint with a brush on it for $12 from www.TouchUpPaintOnline.com. The color match was really good.

My Acura dealer gave me one for free when I bought my RDX. The damn thing is I have mis-placed it and can't find it! It's gotta be here somewhere. Dang it all now that I have a small tiny chip I'd love to touch up.

I bought one from the dealer. But it says after put the base paint, I need to cover it with clear coat. Where can I buy the clear coat?

Any idea how to do touch up with the pen? Do I need to buy something else for this? Didn't try this before.

I've opened up my paint stick I was given at the dealership in Dallas when we picked up the car. Yes it has both a brush and a pen tip but I can't seem to get the pen part to work. Any ideas? +does it actually work better than brush or matchstick which is how I was shown in the past.

I would think that clear nail polish would yellow quickly in the sun, and since it is liquified by acetone, the first time you get spalshed by some anti freeze or something like that it would disolve and run. Plus the clear is maybe 10-12$ US, and good nail polish is about 4 bucks minimum, so the savings doesnt seem to match the risk.
