Hi all, looking to sell soon and want to try touch up a few spots of wear and tear!

My paint code is LY9B can anyone recommend any decent pens?

I also need to fill in a bit on my grill thats flaked off, what colour would you recommend using for this?

I always buy the genuine paint but look on EBay as some places will discount. Also for a better job I use a very fine paint brush with a 00000 grading

I bought some chipfixx paint touch up kit, works wonders. It's Canadian but there is an American version too, I believe they're basically the same.

It's better than a pen in my opinion. You get a small bottle of paint with a couple of brushes.

In my case the color was spot on and the process is as easy as it gets.

The only paint pen I bought had a nib on it that was far too big for stonechips, As above, buy a touch up stick (usually come with a brush that's also far too big!) and buy an artists brush or these bad boys ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100pcs-C...ick-Disposable-Dentistry-Pen-Tip/293076193728

I bought a touch up paint off eBay which had a tiny brush in the pot. Kind of like the Mrs’ nail paints. Does the job.
