hi guys, i have a couple of paint chips on my bonnet which expose bare metal. has anyone tried using those touch up pens and if so would you recommend them?

my car is a 2010 1.1 active eco, in black.

they do the job but you need to take your time using them i'd recomend getting a couple of artists paint brushes (the really fine ones) and some thinners to clean the brush afterwards

your best to apply it in lots of thin layers rather than trying to "fill" the chip in one go

then your last couple of coats should be topped off with clear coat


you will need the paint code (not sure where it is on the panda) most dealers can order it using your VIN or reg number too or direct from fiat uk

if getting from your dealer apply to be a my fiat member

and get 10% off accessories and the like

many thanks for the comprehensive feedback Andy!
