Jared: It sounds like you found a first-rate place. Taking a week means they are going to do what needs to be done and you are going to be SO happy with how she looks.
I think I will. They came very highly recommended by a friend in the business who is actually in Ohio, but gave me two high end shops to talk to in my area with impeccable reputations. Can’t wait to see the final product.

The good picks that are sharp..the round ones, I've found to work best. (and with some fine grit paper, you can make them even sharper.)

For really small applications, the needle on a small syringe works very well, also.

Finally, a BIG "AMEN" to "steady hands." :-)
I use these, they are the best thing I have ever used for filling chips.

Anybody know if Ford released rapid red touch up yet? I have two chips on the hood to touch up and have found ruby red but it’s one shade darker!!

Call your dealer, mine had to order the paint pen as they didn't keep Twister Orange in stock

Once again, you come up with a solution, Jaime. I'd never seen those Motorcraft pens before. And I LOVE those little applicators!

Unfortunately, no Rapid Red..yet, at least that I could find. Aftermarket paints yes, but nothing from Ford that I found.

RG: I did get bottles of touch-up in Rapid though and those were available quite some time ago. Got 'em from the same place I've been getting touchup for years but Sometimer's isn't letting me recall the outfit's name.

Found it in my OCD-saved email receipts. <chuckling>

Same place as Jaime's applicators...AutomotiveTouchup.
