Question Anyone used an "Acura Paint Pen?"

I've seen them all over ebay and I thought about buying one because it has both the paint and the clear coat in the pen. wasn't sure if these were legit or if its smarter to get a kit from the stealership

I used it. It worked pretty well on a small paint chip but you have to be really careful with the amount of liquid that comes out. I used a toothpick to spread the paint and applied it in layers giving it plenty of time to dry between applications.

It is hard to use but it does the job well.
Make sure you regulate the amount of paint that goes on the car though, i kept having too much of it and had to clean it up.

do you think its just smart to use smaller tools like toothpics or even safety pins to just get tiny amounts in those little nooks that are all over? and speaking of cleanup, if you "over paint" do you have to just wipe it up quick and clean the area? I'm kinda paranoid about getting it right

you dont want to get the touchup paint anywhere but in the chip or scratch....pratice on a piece of paper or something before you get to the scratch....
