I’ve watched 5 videos on how to use this pen, and this is the only one that actually teaches you how to use it. Great job!!
Glad it was helpful, and thanks for commenting!
Watch Chris fixit. He did a unbelievable tutorial on it.
Same here.
@@LRN2DIYthat’s why you have almost 1M subs (myself included). Very well done
Thank u for giving the precise step guide on how to get the correct paint 👍
This was helpful. I also watched several videos, and this was the only one that actually show you how to use it. Thank you!
best of all the previously watched videos. I did my wet sanding but still wanted to find a tutorial for the application of paint. This video is hands down the most informative and the voice was loud and clear. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate your clear cut instructions and pointing out the importance of lowering expectations. My 17-year old Hyundai Santa Fe with premium paint is extraordinary.... literally no dings. Just need to touch up the hood. ✨💛✨
Thanks for the informative video. I had to go through twenty terrible videos that didn’t actually go over the how-to.
Thank you so much for this!!!!! I have so many micro scratches all over my car and I bought this a long time ago. Finally have the courage to tackle the tiny marks after watching this video.
Kudos to showing the product in action while also showing love to your sponsor! I would have skipped that part and gone to the application, so good on ya!
Great tutorial and disclaimer of the end result. Thanks.
Better explained than by the manufacturer! Thanks
Thank you so much. For me it was how to use the pin. Not so great in reading instructions and I rather watch a video. So thanks again.
Thank you for your video it helped me a lot I had a lot of dealings and scratches on my Honda which is a great smoky color and this helped me a lot thank you so much
And what's with the spikes? Is it a stand? I got so irritated trying to get that off. What is it for? All I did was spill some on my shirt. Good thing I'm in the parking lot waiting to punch in at work cus I'm wearing my work clothes . Lol
A realistic evaluation.

_If you already own the pen and just want to see/learn how to use it_
Excellent video. While watching I was reminded of the best joke I’ve ever heard. “My wife asked me to get in touch with my feminine side, so I wrecked the minivan.”.
what is the 4 legged holder thing for. Not one video explains the purpose. Its such a strange attachment so it must have a reason
It’s actually just a funky looking stand for the pen. The four points don’t have any special purpose other than to rest the pen on.
Thank you. 🎉
You explained it nice and clear
Great job on the paint, now let me tell you the tragic tell of Darth Bug and Tire remover...
Kept asking myself how did I sub to your channel.. then remembered you did some construction videos.. great job
Good video, and appreciate the reminder to have a realistic expectation.
I didnt see anything about needing to use a primer first? Do you not need to do that?
Why is almost no one sanding and/or compiunding + polishing?
good video, but i'd of got that van repainted lol wow what that tore up w scratches
Life would be so much better if people paid attention in the parking lot.
It's true! I was sitting in my truck a couple of weeks ago waiting for my kids when the whole truck shook. Turns out a little kid swung her car door open and slammed it into mine. I couldn't get too mad since the poor mom was trying to wrangle 4 little kids and miraculously it didn't leave a mark on my truck (white door against black truck) but man - that's where so much of the damage happens.
Life would be so much better if people paid attention.
How to remove it without ptofessional tolls
If you ALREADY HAVE your touch up paint, feel free to skip the first 2 minutes of the video which shows you how to buy it.
Also, MUTING during the inset commercial is highly recommended so you can concentrate on the actual process being shown. Lots of muting on this video.
Overall, this was the most informative and exhibitive video I have found.
Could have been a 3 minute video without commercial and gotten a thumbs up.
I mean, there was an INTRO COMMERCIAL already, so you got your click money. Now we're just getting greedy.
His time is worth something, as I’m sure yours is too…no? Not a bad exchange for “the most informative & exhibited video you’ve found”?
Ahhh curtly rn I have scratches beucse I scraped it into a pole at Starbucks . Currently on a lease. I bought a Aegean Blue Metallic paint pen hopefully covers the scratches I have 😅
And of course the website doesn't include BMW. Awesome.
Or Audi 😢
Although on the video when he did it, I saw audi, but when I went to the website, it wasn't there ...hmmmz.
Thanks for the video
Woo that is so 😎 I really need this this will help so much that is so cool
So do I sand with the tip all around the chip to flatten it out?? Then go over the whole area with the paint?
what is the plastic spiky thing for?
It's just a stand to hold it upright. Sure makes it look interesting.
Awesome video thanks
How do you remove that four prong thing? Mine won't pull off or twist off. Thoughts? Thanks.
hello,, I didn't follow all process correctly as your video but I finished painting and clear coating but I can see the clear line after scratchpen, and some scratch I can still see it.. I want to remove transparent thing to make looking natural paint. How can i do that? should I remove clearcoat? than what tools I need?
You would need a paint thinner to remove it
Do you need epoxy or self etching primer if the scratch hit the metal surface before this paint? Or is this enough to cover it
If the scratch is white, does that mean its the primer, if black or dark color the metal surface ?
Great sounding product I went to their website and found that the color that I need is not available I have a 2006 Honda Accord Alabaster Silver Metallic - NH700M Item #ENH700MAAA1 do you have any other alternatives or suggestions
They do have Honda Alabaster Silver: www.amazon.com/dp/B086MJ11H7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_btf_t1_xGfoFb166AKAH
@@LRN2DIY Thanks I clicked on the link you posted have you read any of the Reviews There are a lot of horror stories and horrible pictures of this product not working just thought you should know before you recommended it here on UA-cam
just applied what i learned. It is dark, will see how it looks tomorrow morning. if not good, can I redo it?
You can, yes. The first coat can be a bit thin so two or more coats should help. My brother in law actually used this technique just last night on his car while at my house and it helped to use a bit of 1500 grit sandpaper and some buffing compound afterward. It came out great!
Love your channel already! My closet upper shelf is sliding down the wall. How do I fix it ? Please help .
That all depends on how it's fastened but you probably need to remove it and fasten it directly into a stud or use a drywall anchor to give the screw a place to properly fasten. Let me know if that helps.
@@LRN2DIY he never let you know if it worked😔
Why is there black under white paint, but white under red paint??? 🤔 That's just mean really.
My car has gray scratches, not chips so should I use just the brush?
I'd try ty pen side first and if that doesn't do it, then use the brush.
Went to the website and it only offers one color for a 2016 Dodge Ram..what gives?
Yeah, the website isn't perfect but a quick search on Google will turn up the results. www.autobytel.com/ram/1500/2016/color/
@@LRN2DIY I know my color but when I type it in I get nothing. I know it's not your website and I'm not complaining at you. Just saying their website is not user friendly
For the love of Mike, just take it to the body shop.
Ok
This looks promising but can’t find any code for Mercedes …
Automotivetouchup is a good place to find codes
Just used this it’s okay but it definitely doesn’t do a perfect job
Thanks. But I wouldn't be watching this video if it wasn't for my dam wife.
My gosh what happened to that vehicle!?!?
We could not see which end you used, your whole hand was in the way.
Definitely not the same type of clear coat used in factory paint
Warning!!!!! Paint code correct but color doesn’t match at all !!!!!be careful !!!!
Thats an horrible job
it's decent for 1, hour labor and 20 dollars
Get to the point
