NBP touch up kit - paint pen?

I'm sure the dealer has a touch up kit of some sort but is there one available online for cheaper price? Instead of having a nail polish type brush is there a paint pen for the NBP color?

Thanks!

I found the pens very difficult to control and dab in small chips .. and after a use or 2 the tip dries up and renders it useless.

I have the pen. It works fairly well. Difficult to get the paint flowing but once it does it seems to fill the chips.

I believe the touch paint dealer has, comes with brush/pen all in one, thought it was around $5 -$7. Believe brush is on top and pen is inside.. would have given you mine for free which is brand new but its CBP not NBP.

the pen is great- maybe you should try a different way to apply?- this is what I was told, tear off a match from a book of matches, then used the feathered end to fill in the scratch- ex. dip the feathered in the paint- then it works great, gl

I have not bought from them, but this site looks legit, and I believe a fellow member recommended them...

i bought KBP paint from the dealer and it didnt match at all. when i got my roof spoiler painted they gave me KBP touch up paint for free since they had it left over after mixing it, and it matched perfectly.

IMO i would get it from a body shop in ur area, i spoke with a few people and they said the altitude where they mix it is different and the color comes out different? i have no idea and dont really buy it lol
