Best way to paint some RDS?

[pricha00]

I have a few small scratches on the front fender area of my Black Rav4. Almost looks like someone drove through a tree or something and some branches scratched the side. No matter they appear to be through the color coat but not the primer and they are very thin. What is the best method to correct these scratches? I have the Toyota paint pen but it has a way thicker tip then these scratches require and I don't like how it dispenses the paint. Unreliable, sometimes you get nothing and other times you get big drops on the end of the pen. Would a artists brush and some liquid paint in a can or small jar be a better option? How about some of those aftermarket pens I see advertised online? I know they can never be 100% without a repaint but I would live with 75% so at least you have to look to find them.

after seeing the performance of touch up piants, i would opt for a repaint, but touch up paint even when used correctly still dosent look good and stands out

Try a super fine point black sharpie first. Then get some Poorboys Black Hole Glaze. If that looks awful go for the touch up paint with a feather edge artist brush.

I wonder if anyone has any experience with those supposed new chip fillers that are spread over a whole section of the vehicle and then the residue is wiped off just leaving the chip filled. Is this really a permanent fix? The sellers say that you can wash after 3 days and it is buffable but I wonder if thats really true. They seem to target used car sales so I bet it only lasts long enough to sell the car.
