Toyota paint touch up.
Got a couple of chips in my paint now... and somebody with a red door decided to slap my door panel.
Has anyone tried the Toyota touch up paint sticks that they sell at the dealership ? Do they work well, easy to apply, and give an even coat ?

Touch up sticks? Is that the same as just the touch up paint? Just want to make sure we're talking about the same product.
I got a tube of touch up paint. It matches very well, but it's not easy to make it match perfectly. The lid has a brush on the end to apply the paint, but for me, the chip was smaller than the brush, making the application difficult. Bob showed me a product that should make it match very well, it's called Langka. http://www.langka.com
It allows you to not have to apply the paint exactly, you can leave a little extra. This stuff will remove the extra, and should make the chip almost unnoticeable.
I definately think the touch up paint is worth the investment, it was under $10.

I used some touchup paint on the ES300, freakin car was a week old and their was a scratch down to the black plastic on the bumper behind the right tire, if the car any color other than silver it would have not been as bad, touch up paint was OK I see it but other don't

This may be anal but I use electrical tape to trace the contours of the scratch (both sides) and then go at it with the touch up paint. Its worked pretty good so far.

I have used the "new" touch-up pens found at the dealer, and I am very pleased with the results. The pen has a fine tip ball at the end, and really gets paint into the heart of the scratch.
I prefer this method to the traditional brush type touch-up.
