touch-up paint tips

hmmm, i spent the $600 for the invisible bra, covers the whole front plus the h-lites, and it works, it's "caught" a few chips, a little heat and it's perfectly smooth again, but...
yesterday i backed up into a tree and then i backed up into another car's license plate bracket, basically mangling a bit my rear bumper cover. wish i had the backup warning thingy.
now i'm looking into gallons of touch-up paint and maybe 1950's bumper guards.

 

As mentioned before - Langka is great stuff - I've used it on my Prius for a few spots and the results are amazing.

 

i could use the back-up camera alright, but my current solution is ---
no more backing up! i once owned a 1958 sedan de ville, in 1966, hippie days, it was perfect, beautiful, except for no reverse gear. that's how i was able to afford it. drove it for manymonths, finally in wash. d.c., i traded it for a 1955 bmw m/c 500cc twin which i then drove back to san francisco. no problem backing up with either vehicle.

 

Does anybody know where we can buy those Toyota touch-up pens? It seems to be only available in Canada. Are there any Toyota parts stores in Canada that will ship to the US?

 

I pickup a touch up paint pen from my dealer Toyota of Oxnard. It cost $10 and was a waist of money. It's Millennium Silver made for the 2004 Prius. As directed I shook that puppy for 2 minutes, and still the silver in the paint was inconsistent. The silver just would not blend properly, it was dark ( missing silver). I had to remove what I applied, because it looked like %$@#.

I guess I will wait for until my hood and bumper look like the moon before I spend the $$$ to fix the chips.

You do mean a pen, and not a bottle-with-a-brush-cap?

 

Yes a pen. I would prefer a bottle with a nice brush. With a brush you can mix the silver particles in the paint the way you want it. With the pen, you are at the mercy of the plunger.
