@Clara: You can actually pick up a clearcoat pen for scratches that don't go thru the clearcoat itself. In theory, you could use the clearcoat pen to touch up spots that you've used a paint pen on. However, I haven't tried the clearcoat yet. As for most plastic parts, I believe they can be replaced or changed out. Where is it gouged?

Considering that you’re going through the clearcoat to really scratch the paint, do you need some kind of clearcoat pen to get the reflectivity to match?

Also… I need to fix gouged plastic somehow. Any ideas?

Cheers Gragop.
I suppose I did not scroll down enough. I will give that a go then.

@Celery: Celery, you can pick up Mini paint pens on Bavarian Autosport too. If you search for "paint pens" then scroll to the bottom of the model list MINI vehicles are also listed just below BMW's.

Any idea where to get these for my MINI by any chance?

@adood84:

No, like a retard I just went out and did it without thinking about writing about it. I was also back in GA at my family’s house and didn’t bring my camera and didn’t think to use mom’s.

However, I can probably take some after pics. I do have one after I did it but it’s a nighttime shot I took playing with dad’s Nikon D50. I can put that up if anyone wants to see it.
