team alchemist Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 hi my 05 t-sport as with any car that's 7 years old has the odd small light scratch so i was wondering have any of you guys used one of these pens, and if so which one? what was the finish like? did it work? and how is the repair weathering?

M2FNG Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 i used the tcut pen and it leaves a lacquer on top of the paint, so it covers light scratches, but when the sun shines on it you can notice the paint not being smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.C Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Not sure how bad your scratch is but I've had plenty of both deep and light and I've been removing lots of mine today by wet sanding with 2000. Then using a polishing compound to bring paint back up. I've used touch up pens in the past on other cars but im not into the raised or blotchy look. Mite be worth a thought.???

GTsillycar Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I had a go with the green thing think it jml. Covers scratches that you could cut out for real with a little compound. Rubbish for my white car but worked on the light metalic blue mondeo at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan23 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 If its a dark colour could do a little trick I was taught, with a perminant marker pen colour the scratch in, then with polish polish it back and it will hide the white scratch mark and the polish will remove any over pen on the paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team alchemist Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 many thanks for the ideas guys will give them a try, none of the scratches are deep just normal wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob89 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I've seen a few people on the forum that have used this place: http://www.paints4u.com/ Sounds like the dodgiest place ever lol (those cash4gold tv adverts spring to mind...) but apparently they make a good range of touch-up kits and paints and do a very good colour-match. They also have a little search engine type thing if you don't know your paint code. I've been thinking of getting one of their touch-up kits for the stone chips on my bonnet, so have not tried them myself yet but they may be worth investigating.
