Dupli-Color AFM0344 Scratch Fix All-In-1 Exact-Match Automotive Touch-Up Paint – Ford Toreador Red – 0.25 oz. Paint Pen

Didnt like it... color was ok but the paint was kinda thick and so was the clear coat... reduced noticability of the scratch was still there...***update***A couple weeks later i noticed the clear coat and color blended up and the thickness was reduced significantly i guess u can say it cured or something but I changed this from a 1-2 start to a 4-5 star i must say i like this alot now and will be touching up all the remaining scratches

I got this product thinking it was an exact match, because its called an exact match... However its a lot more complicated then that.Also this is called All in One, and thats not wrong just misleading. Normal all in one paint is clear and base in one paint, 1 step and your done. This is base in one half and clear in the other, and I'm happy it is that way! However I order clear because I thought this was a true all in one. Big deal now I just have extra clear coat.To get a perfect match its a long process... If you fill in a spot that is through to the metal you have to put primer down. Otherwise you will get a dark gray spot and not a cream color that qx1 is. There was a tiny bit of rust on my fenders that I sanded down, applied white primer, and lastly took the brush and put base coat over. That looks good, but other spots that where more noticeable didn't turn out as well.For those spots I sanded it down with 2000 grit after applying paint, and then used an aggressive polish to remove the sand marks. Its smooth to the touch and only slightly darker then normal. Can you notice it? Yes, but its better then rust forming or clear coat chipping away.I really like the sponge brush that is on the clear coat it makes applying so much better then clear coat pens.Make sure you watch some videos before applying this, its a lot more work then what they make it sound like.

Fork Oxford white. Gotta be one of the most popular and used color By ford for years being used for fleet vehicles. But this white isn't even close. It's a creamy off-white. Generic white off the shelf would be closer.

This Paint Pen matched the color of my car perfectly. At first I was hesitant to buy it based on the reviews but I'm glad I did. It has a primer and base coat combined and a separate section for Clear Coat. It has a two application methods for paint (Brush and Pen) and a sponge like brush for clear coat. I used the brush and it worked great. It spread the paint evenly. I urge people to read the instructions before using it. I've watched several YouTube videos before using it and most of them are incorrect or give bad advice so, be careful. The tip of the pen has a scuffing tip which is essential for the paint to adhere to the car, please use it. Also, use gentle pressure when using all applicators. I used too much pressure when applying the clear coat and the sponge began to tear.Remember, take your time and don't rush the application. Prep work is the most important part of painting a car. I had roughly 10 - 15 chips I needed to fill, I scuffed and cleaned my surfaces and waited the correct time between coats. The pen comes with plenty of paint to fix chips and scratches.Another note, if your car is older or has more exposure to the sun than normal (California) it might not match perfectly.

I purchased this pen to fix a small chip in the hood of my recently purchased used prius. It did that easily. When I realized just how easy it would be to fix things, I decided to fix some much bigger scratches on the back bumper. The older couple who leased it before me backed too far into their garage one day. The dealer decided to fix it by globbing a red paint they already had on hand all over the scratches. i was able to take off that paint with the abrasive tip, sand down the scratches and make the bumper look new again. In fact, after waiting 30 minutes for the red coat to dry, I struggled to find where the scratches were to apply the clear glaze over top. It covered that well! I got the car for $1000 less because of the bumper, and I fixed it with a $12 paint pen. I'm beyond thrilled with this purchase!

Color is great, but the clear coat does not blend in with your vehicle's current paint job. It is almost impossible to get the clear coat to fit only in the scratch or chip, so when it dries (which is pretty quickly) it almost looks worse than the scratch did before! You can see the raised clear coat layer that you just applied... I wish it was a little thinner to smooth out more.

Accidentally hit a curb causing a couple of small scratches on the outer edge my black wheels. Decided to give this touch-up paint a shot to cover up said scratches instead of going to a body shop and probably end up paying way more. Looked at a youtube tutorial on how to apply the Dupli-Color's touch-up paint since it didn't really come with any instructions, the paint did what I needed it to do. If I had to do it again I would probably sand my wheels down more before applying the touch-up paint but that's my fault on the product's fault. Included pics to show before and after.

Perfect color match. Only for minor scratches. The clear coat too thick, which made it look bad due to the texture created. The color March was perfect, but when applied the clear coating kinda ruined the fixing ...

Good quality. Perfect match to my colour. Works much better than the pencil I originally bought at the dealer.

Works well to cover small spot on my escalade

Excellent produit

Great product.....great applicator( compared to the normal nail brush type) really impressed
