*** updated review***
Didnt like it... color was ok but the paint was kinda thick and so was the clear coat... reduced noticability of the scratch was still there...***update***A couple weeks later i noticed the clear coat and color blended up and the thickness was reduced significantly i guess u can say it cured or something but I changed this from a 1-2 start to a 4-5 star i must say i like this alot now and will be touching up all the remaining scratches

If you put in the work it will look okay.
I got this product thinking it was an exact match, because its called an exact match... However its a lot more complicated then that.Also this is called All in One, and thats not wrong just misleading. Normal all in one paint is clear and base in one paint, 1 step and your done. This is base in one half and clear in the other, and I'm happy it is that way! However I order clear because I thought this was a true all in one. Big deal now I just have extra clear coat.To get a perfect match its a long process... If you fill in a spot that is through to the metal you have to put primer down. Otherwise you will get a dark gray spot and not a cream color that qx1 is. There was a tiny bit of rust on my fenders that I sanded down, applied white primer, and lastly took the brush and put base coat over. That looks good, but other spots that where more noticeable didn't turn out as well.For those spots I sanded it down with 2000 grit after applying paint, and then used an aggressive polish to remove the sand marks. Its smooth to the touch and only slightly darker then normal. Can you notice it? Yes, but its better then rust forming or clear coat chipping away.I really like the sponge brush that is on the clear coat it makes applying so much better then clear coat pens.Make sure you watch some videos before applying this, its a lot more work then what they make it sound like.

Oxford white more like oxford creme.
Fork Oxford white. Gotta be one of the most popular and used color By ford for years being used for fleet vehicles. But this white isn't even close. It's a creamy off-white. Generic white off the shelf would be closer.

Absolutely Fantastic! Restored my car to like new!
I purchased this pen to fix a small chip in the hood of my recently purchased used prius. It did that easily. When I realized just how easy it would be to fix things, I decided to fix some much bigger scratches on the back bumper. The older couple who leased it before me backed too far into their garage one day. The dealer decided to fix it by globbing a red paint they already had on hand all over the scratches. i was able to take off that paint with the abrasive tip, sand down the scratches and make the bumper look new again. In fact, after waiting 30 minutes for the red coat to dry, I struggled to find where the scratches were to apply the clear glaze over top. It covered that well! I got the car for $1000 less because of the bumper, and I fixed it with a $12 paint pen. I'm beyond thrilled with this purchase!

Great Paint Pen for the Price!
This Paint Pen matched the color of my car perfectly. At first I was hesitant to buy it based on the reviews but I'm glad I did. It has a primer and base coat combined and a separate section for Clear Coat. It has a two application methods for paint (Brush and Pen) and a sponge like brush for clear coat. I used the brush and it worked great. It spread the paint evenly. I urge people to read the instructions before using it. I've watched several YouTube videos before using it and most of them are incorrect or give bad advice so, be careful. The tip of the pen has a scuffing tip which is essential for the paint to adhere to the car, please use it. Also, use gentle pressure when using all applicators. I used too much pressure when applying the clear coat and the sponge began to tear.Remember, take your time and don't rush the application. Prep work is the most important part of painting a car. I had roughly 10 - 15 chips I needed to fill, I scuffed and cleaned my surfaces and waited the correct time between coats. The pen comes with plenty of paint to fix chips and scratches.Another note, if your car is older or has more exposure to the sun than normal (California) it might not match perfectly.

Color is great, but the clear coat does not blend in ...
Color is great, but the clear coat does not blend in with your vehicle's current paint job. It is almost impossible to get the clear coat to fit only in the scratch or chip, so when it dries (which is pretty quickly) it almost looks worse than the scratch did before! You can see the raised clear coat layer that you just applied... I wish it was a little thinner to smooth out more.

This product works in as few as 1 applications, PERFECT for curb rash on your black rims.
This is an absolutely fantastic product, and completely exceeded my expectations. I have "ebony" rims on my 2016 Ford Fusion which were immaculate until one fateful day when I clipped a curb when taking a turn and suffered some "curb rash." The paint scraped off and there was about an inch of exposed alloy which was painfully obvious since it's silver-colored and the rest of my wheels are black. I read the reviews for a number of products and finally settled on this one since it looked like an easy application and came with a clear coat to protect the work. And WOW, it really worked. I sanded the area down just a little bit, and started to apply the paint. I only needed to apply one coat and it was perfect, completely matching the original paint work. I didn't even bother doing a second coat of black, it was so perfect. I let it dry for 30 minutes and then applied the clear coat and now you can't even tell there was any damage to the rims whatsoever. And I mean that seriously, or I would have said so. You can only tell if your eyeballs are inches from the rims and/or you run your fingers across the surface of the rims and find a small rough patch from the initial scraping. This stuff is perfect and works 10 times better than some of the crazy home remedies I searched for on YouTube before settling for this product. I'm sure it works just as well on the paint on your car, but for those people who scraped their rims on a curb, this is the perfect solution for you. My rims have a kind of sheen to them so I went with this Universal Black, which makes it a bit shiny after application. PERFECT!

It’s ok
Perfect color match. Only for minor scratches. The clear coat too thick, which made it look bad due to the texture created. The color March was perfect, but when applied the clear coating kinda ruined the fixing ...
