Default Genicolor paint pen?

Hey guys, has any body tried this paint pen? I saw it in the vendor classified, I ordered a free pen with the promo code. I have two chips on my hood and a scratch on the side of my car, wondering if any body had any feed back on these pens.

Mine should be showing up today. The dealer gave me a 1G1 thing of touchup paint when I bought the car and it doesn't match at all =P Hoping the Genicolor will! I'll let you know

Glacier Frost Mica,

I have a couple chip marks that I was hoping to get fixxed, I was thinking I would have to bring it to a body shop to have them fill the marks and paint them.

the pen is ok its going to make blobs unless you know what your doing. Its a pen that paint comes out of its just like everything else its gonna look like **** when its done. I did not mind the free pen but once I used it I regretted it on my car. Dr. paint chip fixed my chips in the hood and it looked great. It can fill it in chips and makes it look brand new but you have to use it about ten times on a chip to come out perfect. You have to bring your face right up to the chip to see that it is a chip that that's been filled up with paint. The minute I used the paint pen my friend came over and pointed it right out to me. The paint pen CANNOT BE SMUDGED DO NOT TRY TO FILL IN THE PAINT CHIP WITH IT AND RUB THE EXCESS PAINT IT WILL MAKE A MESS. Sorry but I had to give my honest option because at the end of the day I don't want someone make the crappy mistake in using that pen and messing up the paint.

It all depends on how you do the job ! You can do a mess with Dr paint chip too, if you're not cautious. If you didn't apply it even you can wet sand it after 48h, and you should have a smooth surface !

I tried the free pen and it did not match at all. It came out way lighter. This is on blue onyx pearl (dark blue). I have yet to find a touch up pen that matches.
