Anyone have tips on using this? We're fixing rock chips with it, and we can't do it the recommended way because it has a built in applicator, and the paint dries much too quickly to put into a small cap. (The recommended way being pour a little bit into a small container, use a toothpick to drop some paint in the chip and let it seep into itself layer over layer). Well at least we're preventing the elements from doing further damage, even if it's ugly.

You got a pen?? When I bought mine, it can in the bottle with the cap brush. Even though I used it, it still came out looking crappy. I layered it as well and you can see where I touched up my hood. Looks kinda funny :?

Yeah they gave us a pen with paint on one end and clearcoat on the other. It's really handy, but the applicator is too big for paint chips.

Same here. Pen with paint on one end and clearcoat on the other. I applied a coat of clearcoat, let it dry for about 15 min. then applied another. Then I put the paint on.
