    Yeah, I was wondering what to do with rock chips on my front end as well.
    I've seen scratch fix pens in blizzard pearl at places like advanced auto parts but I don't know if that would work well for larger chipping.

    I've ordered from PaintScratch.com
    I have small bottles of the base paint, pearl topcoat and clearcoat for BWP, but I have yet to use them. I imagine that when I go to use them it will be fairly difficult to blend with the existing paint.

    I checked them out, didn't order yet though. Shipping to Canada is a bit harsh. Might anyway. All I can get at the dealership is a pen with colour coat at one, clear at the other. They don't last long, and are a bit frustrating to use: have a blunt nylon marker style tip, would prefer a simple brush-in-cap. Also the clearcoat immediately lifts the colour coat, useless.

    Went to the dealership yesterday and bought the touch-up paint. Hopefully it will hide the scratches.

    What sort of container, ie: pen, or brush-in-cap? Someone else (in the States I think) mentioned they were selling brush-in-cap style at a dealership. I'm just wondering if our dealership could get that in, hate the pen style.
