Halfords touch up pens

[lolsteve]

Anyone had much experience with them? Want to get the scratch on the side sorted so I've ordered some rust remover gel and kurust. Was originally just going to try and get rid of the rust but looking at the scratches closer again it seems not as bad as I thought so perhaps a touch up pen will tidy up some of the lesser scratches

So i use a touch up pen on my arches because its better than rust... but it still looks crap.... thats going to look crap no matter what you do to it.... If anything I would probably rust cure it and then vinyl over the top to keep water off and then save to get it sorted out properly...

cover it up with this?

I wasnt going to do the arches just the side panel, most of it looks like it didnt break through to the metal

I bought a touch up pen/brush thing from there a few months back.
Was a load of crap. Brush is a couple of strands thin and the paint runs down the tube then onto the brush and just leaves blobs of paint everywhere as the bristles are too thin to hold any paint

Touch up pen and build up the paint until its proud of the surface around it, wet sand the tpouch up stuff back until its level with the rest of the paint. Then machine polish. Won't be perfect but will be a whole heap better.

I my experience touch up pen are abit of a hit and miss,with my escort and corsa they worked really well and with my 306's they where terrible not even close to the colour and making it more obvious that the scratch

But think you could get away with it as yours is silver and silvers silver if you know what I mean.
