Question Touch Up Paint or Bottle Paint

Mods, is the search function ever going to search old threads? Still indexing?

I need to do minor touch up on my WDP, and I have never used a Touch Up Pen. I did use the bottle before, which one do you think will produce better results? And which is easier to apply? Both options come with groundcoat and clearcoat.

I found decent pricing at automtivetouchup.com
You are welcome to suggest other sources.

Thank you

Let me know how it works out for you... I need to purchase either or both.

I basically have a ding on my bumper from a cart... though I park away from everyone, someone still managed to hit me with a shoping cart, I see black now and a dent... Yes I was furious, but that's life in NYC.

Probably the best executed chip repair I've ever seen a DIY on. That guy is good! I even printed that one out...have a few places I need to spot up before winter. I've never had the confidence to do more than drop in the paint, but now I have no doubt on how to do it well, the right way.

Thanks for posting the link!
