how much would a touch up pen be from the dealership and how hard are they to use?


Does that stuff really work? i've heard it doesn't and believer it doesn't but i have some like rock chips on my hood, and i'd like to just get it off

 

5 to 10 bucks from the dealership... 5 from pep boys... they both have the exact same product just at different price. As has been said, only do it if the scratch is around the size of a ball point pen tip. Make sure the surface is somewhat cold, make sure the job's smooth, give it a day to dry,
then follow up with some clear coat polisher, then give it another day before you take it out. Make sure you leave the car IN THE GARAGE... I made the mistake of using touch up on my old truck and leaving it out in the sun.. baked the stuff and made it nice and bumpy... looked better with the chips.

By the way... razor blade on paint = bad... Razor blade on Scion paint that is thinner than Saran wrap, even worse. Wanna know why? Take a razor blade and see what it does to the Saran wrap...

Only reason I know all this of course is cuz I've made the mistake too... but not on the Scion ... so welcome to the club.

Pen sounds like a good idea but really if it was just a razorblade, and probably dull by the time it cut part of the badge, the scratches would probably just buff out pretty easily...
