Dupli-Color EAFM04180 Scratch Fix All-In-1 Exact-Match Automotive Touch-Up Paint – Ford Blue Lightning – 0.25 oz. Paint Pen

OK, perfect match for the very traditional Ford Oxford White color. Doingsometouch ups on a recent surplus auction fleet truck. Color is spot on and the chip repairs are very good. The use of the touch up pen for scratches is a work in progress. After a full multi-day cure, I'll cut that down with some light 400gr on the finger tip and then retouch as needed before blending. It ain't perfect, but it's darn good stuff.

Matches my vehicle paint perfectly!

NOT as easy as it looks.I watched a ton of their videos and they make it look super easy. It is if you are looking to just make sure your car doesn’t rust where it is exposed, but it is not going to be pretty.The paint applicators are not very precise.The one is like painting your nails. It came with a few strands curled and would not straighten. It was medium to low quality and would not apply very well or correct the amount easily. I had it often where it would pool too much paint and have a drip form at the bottom. I couldn’t get it to soak up the extra.The felt pen like applicator, as I understand it, is for more precise application. It was not. It poured out more than the other applicator, even after trying lightly. It was either pouring out or not at all. Again, drops formed.The color was a touch darker than my car, which I matched according to the paint code in the door. It wasn’t significant, but I noticed. My car is 10 years old and it may have faded, but that has to factor into the viability of using a product like this.The applicator for the clear coat was a bit more manageable. It was like a sponge on a stick in a triangle shape with the tip of the sharper angle for application. The clear coat goes on nicer, but mounds over the previously applied paint. It is noticeable after it dries, but it is small enough you don’t see it from afar.I work at an automotive repair shop and so had access to a garage to maintain the temperature properly. One of the paint guys even commented that it looked decent for what it was. Maybe I expected more out of this than was reasonable? Just know it isn’t going to restore it, I guess. That is what you pay the big bucks for when you take it to a body shop.I was hoping it would look nicer than it did. I am a practical person, so it works for me to prevent my car from rusting, but I cannot overlook the small disappointment of the appearance.

Perfect color match, easy to use.

I’ve included before and after pictures to show this product! it works well with covering my insane black gashes from grazing a wall 😭 it dries quickly <45 minutes and for saving money as a college student, this does the job with covering gnarly marks without the huge cosmetic bill from a shop. happy with my paint pen!

I got this for a Ford that is a pearlescent white. If you use this color alone, it will NOT match the car's original color if the scratch is anything more than superficial. If you're down to bare metal or black plastic, you have more work to do.I got this to paint a replacement backup sensor that comes unpainted (black plastic). In order to get it to match, I sprayed the sensor with primer, let that dry. Then I sprayed the primer with plain white. Next, I used the product being reviewed here since it adds the metallic/pearlescent finish. Finally, you have to clearcoat it or it will be a matte finish.If you just brush this on anything other than a white finish, it will just be metallic silver. You must also add a gloss to it.The finished product once you do everything properly, is a very good match to the original, but you can't just smear this stuff on by itself.The only part I didn't like is that the consistency is a lot runny. If you're not careful, the surface will not be even. Also, it will take at least two light coats applied gently. The stuff in the pen has a lot of solvent and will remove the white layer below if you're not careful. One quick brushstroke and be done.In the photo, you can see the upper right (old) sensor side was primed and painted with the Duplicolor brush. It is silver, not white. On the face of the sensor, you can see the actual car color. On the lower left sensor side, you can see a sloppy test with primer, white, and Duplicolor (did not gloss the test part).

This touch-up paint was an excellent match for my Toyota’s Magnetic Gray (1G3) paint. The all-in-one design is very convenient, with an abrasive tip to prep the chip, a fine-tip pen and brush for applying paint, and a built-in clear coat to finish the repair. It’s ideal for rock chips and small scratches, helping prevent rust while making blemishes much less noticeable. Just be sure to shake it thoroughly for a few minutes before use and apply several light coats for the best results. While no paint pen will be completely invisible on larger damage, this is one of the best DIY touch-up options available for Toyota Magnetic Gray.

Exact color match. Worked pretty well

It doesn't work, I tried using it and the the thing would not work, the brush part of the touch up paint would not open either, i tried almost anything to open it but the thing would not budge, I'm very upset with my purchase and know never to buy any Dupli-Color products ever again

Touch up on my Camaro

Good match

Good quality. Perfect match to my colour. Works much better than the pencil I originally bought at the dealer.

Proper GM paint for my 2002 Camaro SS. Super!
