I used the paint pen and I wasn't really satisified with it. The clear coat side tended to puddle. You have to push down to get it to come out, then too much comes out. I probably wasn't patient enough. Anyway, I didn't care for it. Just my experience.

I heard the paint pens aren't that good. I got the bottle with the brush (Black) from Courtesy Nissan. I used it to paint the Nissan Hamburger on my 2k Max and it came out looking pretty good. Just make sure you take your time and use the right amount to keep everything smooth. After a few months, it still looks pretty good.

Is there any way to get OEM paint in large quantities (like a quart or gallon?) I want to buy a body kit but I don't want to color match, I want to have OEM paint.

I was thinking something similar but in a spray can.
