Paint Pen for Dings

I have a silver fit with lots of dings. I've read about paint pens. Does anyone know if they work well? Any good place to purcahse them?
I'm hoping to get some door dings off my car. I dunno why these huge trucks tends to park near me and cause dings to my car!

I would personally get the ones that have paint brushes. But not use the brush they come with. I would get a super fine brush for painting and just dot the paint on the ding. Do it in layers to build the paint up. Once it drys completely sand it down with a 1500grit and buff out. You won't be able to tell where the ding was.

I purchased the Honda touchup pen... Silver also.

They work as well as the person holding them.

The tendency is to use too much paint. Use less and multiple
applications if necessary. Clean up the area first.

The brush can sometimes be too big... toothpick can make a
great applicator.

Also as I discovered, the paint in the pens is basically nail polish. Which means if you make a major oops when applying, you can remove it with acetone without harming your paint.

You can buy the paint pens from any of the only parts dealers (college hills honda, bernardi parts, handa).

Don't use paint pens if you want it to look clean. Check out Dr. Color Chip. I was planning on buying some for my SSM, wanna split a bottle?
