Eastwood Disposable Paint Pens &

other 'touchup" questions? Has anybody used these? Seems like a better method than using factory touch up brush? You still use paint from factory bottle? Going to use Eastwoods "rust brush" for one bad spot I hadn't noticed. Anyone used this product? The plan is to use 3M masking tape around areas to reduce possibility of smears. After paint cures, use 2000 grit sandpaper and wet sand area to smooth finish? Should this cure any hump/bubble on touched up spot?
Thanks for any info!

IMO, You would have better control using a paintbrush (not the one that comes with the touch up paint) If you have to do any touch up on something that lays vertical (like a hard top bed cover) you can dab/blot some paint in the chipped area. if you have to touch up any area that is horizontal (bumper, or door) you will have to apply thin brush coats, and built it up in layers.
The rust brush, you can purchase that at a good art store/ hobby shop. All it is, is a fiberglass bristle brush. Eastwood carries good products, but a majority of their products can be found locally for a lot less money.
Hope MY OPINION helps you decide one way or the other.
