Dr color Chip VS Automotive Touchup Pen

paint chip is about half the size of a pencil eraser, maybe a little smaller.


Dr color chip ($50 for basic kit) V.S automotive touch up pen ($23 paint + gloss clear coat)

prices include shipping


Any thoughts?

I had better color match from factory touch up. I recommend trying that with langka.

Dr. color chip does ok, but you can't really fill the chip with it -- it'll just make the chip the right color. It's "good enough" for most people, but I prefer to do a proper 3-stage paint fill (stupid CWP...)
