If your paint is metallic or pearlescent, you may notice it has separated within the bottle - this paint will need a vigorous shake, even leave it upside down for 5 minutes first.

For example, looking along the wall towards the light in a long hallway.

After applying the paint pens and letting the affected areas dry, we washed the vehicle several times to see how well the paint stayed in place. We also monitored the area to see that the color held up for over a month. We took notes on both the process and the results, scoring each car paint pen based on its ease of use and how well it matched the surrounding paint job. Color came out great. The exact one. It seems easy to use, however wish they could’ve sent a video link on how to exactly use this product The paint takes a little while to dry, but the Dupli-Color delivered the best results among the paint pens we tested and came the closest to reproducing the factory paint color. What Customers Are SayingOur ease of application score is based on how simple or difficult it is to use each paint pen. Some paint pains only require a single application, while most have multiple steps. Some paint pens are more difficult to apply precisely than others applicator tip. Use the same paint that was used originally to minimise any colour difference. Pastel colours are more forgiving than deeper colours. Product works very well and blends well. The only reason for 4 stars is that I had to figure out which was clear coat and which was the paint. Otherwise no complaints.
