Default Autosharp pen opinions?

Just wondering if anybody has any experience with these things. The website's here if you've never seen them before. http://www.autosharppen.com/
Just saw the ad in Excellence, thought I might check it out but wanted to see what the folks on here thought first. Looks like just the thing to fix those little nicks.

Yes, I bought one and successfully filled some of the small stone chips on my bonnet. Color match was good. Paint is thin and takes a series of coats to get a good result.

They are also a Rennlist sponsor.

I will be filling in my key scratch marks and wet sanding the scars left by the vandals next week.
I have used it before, and like it. I would say it performs best when new, then becomes messy as you re-use it later...

I have used one, but I get better results using a good quality art brush sized to the size of the scratch or chip I need to fill. I use the dealer supplied touch-up paint (just avoid using the brush that comes in the bottle).

I use them for all of my cars. Purchase extra tips and make sure that you apply in small amounts and build up to cover the chip.

Even better tip for touchup if you can get touchup bottles, I think my dealer only sells pens, take a paper match and cut it off at about a 45 degree angle, use this to touch up...No brush no mess throw it away....

Hmmm Interesting.. May need to try this...
As the whole car goes up in flames...
Kidding. I like the idea.

Cheers,
