Is the touch-up pen useful?
1 Answers
The touch-up pen is useful. It can cover up some minor and shallow scratches on the surface, making them less noticeable. The effect is quite good, although it cannot achieve the same result as the original car paint, it is much better than leaving the scratches untreated. For deeper or larger scratches, or those that expose the primer, the touch-up pen cannot effectively repair them. There may be color discrepancies and a lack of gloss, resulting in less than ideal results. For the proper use of a touch-up pen, the professional method is to cover areas that do not need to be painted with tape, select the appropriate color and model of the touch-up pen that matches the car paint, shake the pen well to mix the paint inside, and then apply it evenly and smoothly to the minor scratches or imperfections on the car body. Once the paint dries, it can repair, conceal, and fill in the scratches, and it also provides some rust-proofing function.
