Default touch up paint for LS400

any of you guys ever tried this? i've got a '91 LS400 and over the years have recived a lot of scratches and key marks.

so far i've checked out two sites:

www.autosharppen.com

www.paintscratch.com

anyone have any experince with these two sites and their touch up paint proccess?? and how well does it match and blend with the paint with your LS/91 ls400??

I got some of the paintscratch.com products and wasn't very pleased. matchup was horrible and the triple layer process was a pain in the rear, especially for nicks on the front bumper. if you do use it for small rock nicks use a toothpick instead of the brush. the brush just make a big cluster mess.

not sure what to expect from touchup but trying to be positive i guess anything is better than bare metal showing and it helps keep away the rust.

also, fyi the scratch pen is even worse to apply.

just my opinion other may have had better sucess

get paint #'s off driver's door jamb and go to the dealer to get the paint. or all you need is your VIN.
Do use the pointed toothpick for very small places.
