Default Fixing Rock Chips

OK, this is a problem that everyone has so I thought we could chat about this for a minute.

Usually fixing rock chips is a huge pain because the "Nail Polish" type brush is usually way to inaccurate. For a while I have been using a tooth pick which takes longer but works better but I found an even better method.

I purchased a bottle of touch up paint for my wife's RX. It was a normal size bottle but the end looked like a pen. I started using it and found that it worked REALLY well (I was truly impressed). My LS touch up paint came in the "Nail Polish" container so I thought I would ask if you can get the Pen like container for all colors? Also, is there a specific name for this applicator?

Excellent, thanks for the info! Does this place guarantee that the paint will match (AKA: is it factory paint)?

This pen includes your car's color at one end, and the corresponding clearcoat on the other. The pen's nib resembles a felt marker. The instructions say the paint should be dabbed and not rubbed on. What I am showing above is Obsidian 212. Your part number's suffix should be your paint code.
