    Default Touch up paint

    Has anyone used the duplicolor touch up pens from Canadian tire ? I'm not close to a Mazda dealer to order one. Just curious .

    It seems they have almost every colour for any car.

    Check this review comparing touch paint vendors for Soul Red 41v. Should be safe to assume they make all colours match just as well

    I've used them, but they only had a ford black. The match isn't perfect, but I love the brush that comes with it. High-quality product, if you can get the match

    You can try Tasca Mazda in the USA. They had mazda touch up bottles for my 2007. Email them.

    Almost is the key word there.

    Isn't Dr Colorchip the go-to for this?

    the US switched to the crappy touch up pens a few years ago
    I'd look on ebay instead and buy from europe, which are still in brush on bottles (has base paint and clear coat)

    So apparently we can't get Dr. Colorchip shipped to Canada anymore. I've heard people say Chipfixx is a good alternative, but I have no personal experience with it.

    Whatever you decide, stay away from Crappy Tire and Mazda OEM pens.

    Find a way to get Dr Colorchip in from the states. It will fix all the chips for the life of the car, and do a near perfect job.

    Is there a way without driving over the border?

    Personally I just bought one of these after watching this video from AMMO NYCp recently. I've got a bunch of chips on the leading edges of my car plus a nice big one over the right-rear wheel that I'm gonna try this out on.

    I'm gonna give the Mazda paint pen a shot in combination with that tool and see how it turns out. If it's crap, I'll stump up the change for Chipfixx (since I can't get Dr. Colorchip anymore) and do it again that way.

    We'll see how it goes.

    Took a bit of playing to figure it out (mainly drying time before trying to smooth out) but the results were fantastic. Won't be going back.

    Now if I could only find where I put the dam "levelling" solution... i.e. the expensive part LOL.
