Default Touch-Up paint?

Well, I got a few small scars on the Jeep, and I really want to touch it up so it doesn't start to rust....

I got some touch-up paint from the stealership, and I'm curious if anyone has ever used it. Does it pass the test, or does it make it more obvious than the scar itself? Please advise!

Thanks in advance...
Kelly

I can only comment on the flame red color. I got touch up paint from stealership and it doesn't quite match. Not sure if you can get it from another source. Mine is noticeable but better than seeing the gray primer.

My .02 cents

No problems with black, but the pewter colored Chevy I had was too dark.

the jeep green paint pen was pretty close as well. but I saw some sticker bandaids on various sites that I think would be a cooler 'fix'.

Put the touch up paint on first and let it cure then if it does not match use the sticker. Stickers will not seal like paint and it could rust behind it.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I will try it tomorrow and cross my fingers. I'll let you know how it came out...

Anyone if there is a touch up paint for the hardtop? All I have found is gloss black.

Default Match is OK

The stone white touch up seems right on...

steel blue is perhaps a little dark and it kinda goes on thick. I don't think that the pen aplicator feature works too well either.
