Paint Pen Needed
Where is the best place to get a paint pen for my car. I have the touch up paint from Benz but I would like to get one that works like a felt tip marker. Any suggestions?

I bought mine from www.autovisuals.com. They used to have discount codes but the one I used has expired.

So i received mine today, and I tried it this evening.
For small scratches and chips, its an easy fix. Apply 2 or 3 coats of paint, then apply 1 coat of clear coat, then apply rubbing compound (paint, clear coat, rubbing compound are all included in a package for $25). It took me about 30 min to fix one scratch. The fixed scratch is still visiable @ a certain angle, but its alot better than before. They'll probably be gone once i wax my car.
However, trying to get rid of a key scratch on one of my doors was pain in the *** (The scratch was very deep tho). I spent like 2 hours applying paint, and my right thumb was so sore due to cleaning the rubbing compound, yet i could still see/feel the scratch easily. I'll try to apply more coats tomorrow and see what'll happen.
Maybe thats how touch up pens work? They can only cover small scratches but not deeper ones? I dont know, it was my first time using touch up pens.
I'd rate this product a 8/10, its noob-friendly, and the paint blends with the original car paint very well. For $25 dollar, the pens did their job well.

So for $25 you got one pen with paint and one with clear + rubbing compound? I don’t really have any scratches just a couple dings on the hood from small debris. You can hardly see them but I would like then touched up.
Thanks

I was
advised to use the F-Performance at the car-detailing and detailing center. I took my new car to have it covered with the paint-protection film and was happy with the result that I saw. The car looks like it just came from the car-saloon, and time has shown that the stated characteristics correspond to reality
