Hey guys. Does anyone else have problems with the pen part on GM touch up paint bottles? It seems after I buy one, i'll pull the plastic thing out inside to allow me to use the pen which works great the first time. Then any time after that the damn pen doesn't seem to work. I can dab it till i'm red in the face and no paint comes out! I'm assuming it's because the paint dries and clogs the end? Is there a way to keep it from clogging or an easy way to unclog it and use it more than one time? It's getting extremely frustrating and I now almost have enough GM touch up bottles to paint my car lol.

Thanks

 

I haven't seen one to know for sure, but can you stick a sewing needle in the tip to open it up again? Works with super glue...

 

I jus use the paintbrush

 

Ya I've tried to push the ball far in with a pin but it doesn't seem to get the paint to flow. I don't get it.

For larger stuff I do. But using the brush for rock chips in the hood (I drive a lot of highway) is extremely hard to do without making it look worse instead of better. With the pen you just dab it in the chip and it fills it perfectly.

 

LOL so you just keep going and buying more bottles? we never use the pen, the brush works best

 

Ya wat he said^^ I've actually never found a good use for the pen unless I was messin round with some paper or somethin

 

at the shop we never use the pen we just use the brush lol, slightly wipe the excess off the brush by wiping it on the top of the bottle then use the tip of the brush and dap it on the rock chip. trust me you get better over time lol it took me like 15 cars to finally get the hands to be able to not shake as bad.

 

And this is what I don't want lol. My car looking worse with touch up paint then better. I just find it a lot eaiser with the pen thats all.

 

This has happened to me a couple times. I just go back to the dealership and show them it doesn't work and they order me a new one for free.

 

Ya thats all I've been doing haha. Looks like thats the only solution.

 

lol well ok search Paintless Dent Repair PDR or check out a local body shop and see if they cant help you out.

bam

 

I don't have any dents haha. I just like to fix any small paint chips my car gets and find it's easier using the pen on small stuff. But I guess i'm gonna have to get used to using the brush

 

-__- They take care of all of that lol
