In another thread I had shared a few pictures of a ding that my Max endured . Anyway, the repair shop said he'd just get a tube of paint from nissan for $5 and get it over with. so, my question is this: do I get the tube or the pen? The pen also has a clear coat, but how is application?

Thanks

Oh, I'd be ordering from here:

I just picked up some touch-up paint from my local Nissan dealership last week. The product I bought is a two application type. There is one bottle for a base coat, and another for the top coat. Cost was $10. Haven't used it yet, but seems that it will work better than a touch-up brush or pen.

 

I always ask for a free tube of touch-up paint before I sign for my car (and a few extra sets of keys)...

I am sure either one will be ok, so long as you can cover up that ding...

 

Interesting, I was actually unaware of the two step paint pen.... it may be a better choice for bigger chips.

 

This stuff doesnt work for our color(Glacier Pearl,Pikes Peak QX1) at all, it makes it look worse I've tried it.

 

same here, my 00 had plenty of dings from daily driving and i used the nissan touch up paint. and it sucks, the colors are somewhat off still and you can tell because it isnt even with the origional paint job.

Yep, I ordered on Wednesday night just before midnight and it shipped Thursday.... it'll be here Monday. So far, I've been really pleased with CourtesyParts and Grubb's Infinity.
