Touch Up Paint Pen
If you scroll past the middle a little bit you can see the Chip-Mender brand Touch Up Paint Pen on this site http://www.handa-accessories.com/tl.html.
However, if you click on Add to Cart, they only sell for TL 2004 and up.
I have a 2003 Aegean Blue Pearl and would like to get one of these pens as I have so many small rock chips on the front bumper.
Where could I buy these pens for my ABP? Thanks

Hey, While I've never used them, you could try finding something to fit the bill at the following link: www.paintscratch.com
I also noted that when I pulled up your message there were a couple of banner ads above it on this web site that link to outfits that supply touchup pens.
Hope this helps, Steve

Here's a link to the "How to" instructions on the Paintscratch site the Steve mentioned:

I ordered a touchup pen from them for my 1999 TL. They shipped very quickly although I haven't tried the pen yet.

Oh Hullow
i had a touch up pen for my previous car (icelandic pearl 2000 maxima) i found that it didnt help that much, it seemed like the colors were 2 different shades of white... and i had the same results with the touch up paint for my aegean blue pearl TL-S... the colors just dont mix... idk if thats how its supposed to be or if im doin something wrong.. just keep that in mind before you apply it though.

- Make sure you absolutely get the correct color.
- Your car's paint may have faded, in that case the factory color won't match.
- Sometimes the dealer may offer a couple shades of the same color, you can pick the best one.
- Make sure to shake it up before use - otherwise the paint probably won't match.
- If you car's paint needs to be polished (i.e. you have swirl marks/water spots/etc) the gloss will be different and the color won't appear to match. The only solution is to polish your paint.
Hope this helps. I just picked up some paint for my wife's Pilot from the dealer, it was around $10.

And sometimes a clear coat top layer is needed for the best matches. Some of the touch-up pens come with a built-in clear coat applicator on the other end of the pen. You can also buy separate clear coat touch-up pens.

you can go on ebay and find OEM Honda/Acura paint pens for i think 9 bucks. Search for Paint Pens or a seller named paint pens. they're 100% matched.
