How good are the paint pens?

I have a few scratches in my hood, and saw that paint pens might be my cheapest option. Do these work well? The scratches are fairly thin, but go throgh to the metal (can see white). Or should the hood be all resprayed?

I got one a couple of weeks ago off of EBAY, and i love it very simple to use and 100x better than anything else i have used... one side paint one side clear..

just by the ones that acura makes, there is a guy on ebay who sells tons of them

his ID is ---- paintpens

I bought the Acura paint pen for my silver TSX. It did a great job when I first used it, but the pen tip (which is just like an ink pen) has since dried up and I couldn't resurrect it even with paint thinner.

Duplicolor makes a set where you fill in scratches with primer layers and then paint layers with a dual tip dispenser, sanding between coats like a real paint job,looks great when done

Then get a clear bra made from 3M plastic
