touch up paint! questions
I have a couple chips in my paint. Do they sell little things of touch up paint at Ford? If any one has ever done this to fill in some small chips, what kind of brush do you use? Or is the paint even available without having to do a complete repaint. Also how much does it run? Any other tips would be appreciated.

from what I heard get the touch up paint to match and use a needle(like at the doctor when you get a shot). Break off the tip and use that to apply the paint. It fills it in so much nicer without smering on the parts that aren't chipped.

Thanks all, so get a syringe kinda thing, but break off ALL the metal tip? So Its just like a thing that you fill up and squirt out, without the metal needle and it just comes straight out of the glass, or plastic orwhatever?

Alot of dealers use these companies that roll up in a van and do this scratch repair stuff. They actually whip out a spray gun and make that scratch go away.Touch up paint is so cheasy ,they charge the dealers like anywhere from 50 to 100 or so depending upon the scratch.I had one of these ****ers paint an aftermarket hood on an old car I had. Flawless job cost me $75.00 clear coated and evrything

I got mine from a Ford dealer for like $6. You can either use it like a pen or it also comes with a brush.
