I bought the pen made by Duplicolor( I believe) at Autozone ($5) and works well. You just have to be very careful not to put too much pressure on the tip or the spring loaded ball will get stuck and will do more harm. Also, I have been to 2 Nissan dealers and they sell their touch up paint in small metal tube of about $4-$5 each. Ed.

That's what I've heard. I have a 2k Sterling Silver and heard that's the hardest to match. Anyone have any ideas where to find a good match? Some bastage keyed my car up pretty badly.

I 'am useing the Dupi color, but color (sterling mist) don't match up very well. it a sade lighter when you put it on. (my tips- sometimes it match really well -the leser you shake the darker the color, basecally dont shake it when you put it on)The cheapest I seen was 4 dollars at wal mart. I haven't try the nissan ones yet.

Yeah, especially on the Sterling Mist paint on my 98 SE. It's alright to use on places that aren't noticable (I used it on a small scrap on the lower part of my bumper), but I would not apply it on places such as the doors or hood.
