Dupli-Color AGM0388 Scratch Fix All-In-1 Exact-Match Automotive Touch-Up Paint – General Motors Bright Red – 0.25 oz. Paint Pen

Great match to cover some curb rash on the aluminum wheel. Easy to use. It was my fault, but it would be nice if it was more clear which way to hold the device when unscrewing the side with the brush. Like a dummy, I dumped grey paint over my hand when I started to open it the wrong way.

The colour match was perfect. It is easy to use this paint.

Product works great. Matches the Tesla Model 3 Aero wheels.But what the hell, DupliColor??? You can't include an instruction sheet? VERY frustrating if you don't do a little reading up. There are no instructions and a couple of places you can get into trouble. Hit up YouTube and see how this product works.Main thing: Always hold it point up, fat end down when you open either end. The paint and sealer are in cups and will spill unless the pen is point up.Understand there are three caps on this and two wells of paint. The fat end is a cup of sealer. The barrel is a cup of paint which you use two ways: via an attached brush (like nail polish) and a pen tip. Here's the sequence:1. Remove the four-legged plastic thing, which holds the pen steady inside the box it comes in. It's tight -- just nudge it all around until it comes loose.2. There are three places you can open this. At the fat end, the sealer is in the end cap. At the narrow end, the translucent cap with the scratching tip comes off to show a pen point; and below the pen is a cap that has a brush, like nail polish. The pain is in the body so if you open this, be sure the pen tip is pointing up, or the paint will spill.3. Tighten all the caps and shake.4. Use the scratch tip to clean up the damaged spot.5. Use alcohol on a rag to clean the spot, let dry.6. Use the fine pen tip or the tapered brush to paint your spot.7. Let dry 1/2 hour.8. Now hold it point us and open the fat end to reveal a foam brush. Use that to paint on some clear coat.Done. Now send the company an email saying they should include some instructions.

I bought this to use on my Tesla model three wheels. The color matches perfectly and it did a great job.

I'll cover a few things first, the packaging is confusing. ALWAYS stand the paint with the fat end down, with the label facing you and readable, remove the top cap by unscrewing it and the brush will be facing down into the paint, unscrew the bottom to access the foam brush with the clear coat. do NOT hold the paint with the label upside down or you will spill everything when you open it. If you are repairing your Tesla Model 3 Rims, the color is spot on. To make a perfect repair, do not rush and just apply the paint to the scraped rim. . Just applying paint will look better than the scrapes, but not very good. Get fine grit sand paper and sand the surface flat first The color match will be so close you will not spot it afterwards. I sanded with two different grit sandpaper, applied gray primer, and let it dry for 24 hours before applying the first coat of paint. Let it dry a good amount of time, because the first coat of paint will tend to liquefy if you apply the second coat too soon. The paint is actually quite thick, so be aware that when you start the painting process. I didn't use the clearcoat because the color and shine are so close to the original paint since I scraped my rim after owning my new car only three days. I compiled this from my experience using it and confirming the advice given by other users. A side note, the paint has a pressure sensitive point that will apply paint by pressing the tip to the object you wish to apply the paint to. I don't recommend using it on the rims. it tends to apply thick blobs. Also, there is very little paint in the kit, so be sparing with it. The picture is the actual repaired rim, and the damage was pretty obvious. Take your time, and be patient, the repair will look great! I hope this helps,
