May be not good for silver (pen)
I had a silver CRV and now a silver TSX. The color (silver) of the of the pen isn't last very long. It was OK for the for the year. But the silver color is now changed to a deeper silver.
I have to go back to bottle and brush.

I tried the ebay link shown previously but the seller did not have my color. He instead recommended the one below. I haven't bought anything from this site. Does anyone have any experience with it? It seems to go into a lot of detail, asking for the factory code, etc.

Hmmm, the touch-up paint I bought at my local Acura dealer about a month ago lets you choose your application method. Remove the cap and you expose the ballpoint-like pen tip, but you can unscrew the top (which includes the pen tip) and projecting from the underside is a conventional touch-up brush, which has been immersed in the paint. It's just like opening a bottle of touch-up paint.
By the way, when I tried the pen, I was really disappointed. If I tapped the tip on a hard surface to "engage" the ball and get the paint flowing, I got a big drop of paint every time. I eventually gave up and resorted to using a very fine artist's brush, dipping it into the paint in the pen/bottle. (I think the built-in brushes that come with touch-up paint are pretty much useless if you're trying for a controlled application in a normal-size chip or scratch.)
If anyone wants to critique my attempt with the pen, feel free.
