    Local auto parts stores only have the bottle with the thick brush end on them. Where can i get some good touch up paint that has a thin end brush or something easier to work with?

    You can always buy a really nice brush used for detail work on models. I would suggest that vs using a the brushes in the cap of most touch up paint.

    The EZ mix dabber is the right tool for the job. That parts store paint will work fine, the applicator makes the difference.

    Ive had great luck with the Dr Colorchip kits in the past. They are a little pricey but the result is worth it.

    I just picked up a bottle of touch up paint that has a pen like applicator from the dealer for my truck during my wife's Highlander service. With my Costco discount, I paid $12? It will help me with my front end rock dings from everyday travels.

    You'll need your VIN number or at least the last 6 digits.

    I tried fixing a deep scratch with the duplo (silver sky mettalic) and while the product itself seems decent the color was off and I wasn't happy with the touch up. I ordered the automotive touchup and its defiinitely a different shade. I have not tried it yet but it testing the two colors side by side the automotive touchup seems closer to the correct color.
