Who do you guys order from for touchup paint?

Do you prefer the pens, or the actual paint?

I prefer using what Mike recommended here and it's Dr. Chip, simply an amazing product

It kind of depends on the make/model and color. Most of the time it's worth buying a bottle from the dealership. I prefer the bottles with the brush. Paint pens are hard to finesse unless your doing a big spot or door jamb edge. What's the color?

Dr. Colorchip. Very easy to use and passed the 5ft test.

On my wife's tri-coat Cadillac, it was more of a ~8ft test it passed. Tinted primers are very difficult to cover up. Dr. Colorchip even makes sign a waiver acknowledging it would be a perfect match for tricoats.

I use Automotivetouchup as paints are $10. They also sell dabbers that work much better than factory touch up paint brushes.

90% of the time I have paint mixed at the local auto body supply store. Single stage is usually about $10 and gives you enough to last a lifetime for future jobs. Forget the old touch up brush bottles. They dont last very long.

I've used them too and they're paint matched perfectly--for a great price too.
