Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for touch up paint for my 2016 CX-5 (the dark blue color deep crystal blue mica I believe?). I recently noticed a small nick on the hood, appears to be down to the metal. Very small but I'm rather OCD about the car lol. Found a couple of options on Amazon but not sure whether I should get just the OEM pen or the OEM bottles with the brushes that include a bottle of clear coat or if any of the non OEM products are any good. Everyone on here has been super helpful thus far, just wondering if anyone has personal experience or recommendations. Thanks everyone!

 

Get the Dupont pen at Walmart. They are around $8 and work perfectly. Very easy to use too. Just push, no brush.

 

Those appear to be just clear coat. He's down to primer and needs a color product first! I'd go with the OE product first. If that doesn't work try something in the aftermarket.

 

Thanks I'll get the OEM color pen and then check out the DuPont clear coat. Any tips for blending it in? As in will it leave a visible blob where I apply it or is that not an issue?

 

2,500 grit sand paper with water, then 3M Scratch Remover liquid.

 

I bought the Mazda pen for the same color. The color and metallic content are a perfect match, my problem is the mismatched depth of the paint.

I will try timmonsr's suggestion.
