Question Touch up paint pen?

I have a couple of small chips on my hood. I was thinking about getting one of these:

http://www.autosharppen.com

Anyone use one? Anyone know if there is something like it that is less than the $16 they want for one? I don't remember seeing anything like this at my local AutoZone or Pep Boys but I may be wrong. Any info?

Jason, That is crazy expensive. Autozone has factory paint codes in touch up bottle/pens for $5.99!

My friends red Z color's which mathing numbers from duplicolor vs. the gm paint colde for the bottle of touch up paint from Autozone did not match, I recommend getting the touch up paint directly from the GM parts counter, it is a GM product and will have the exact GM paint code on the bottle of touch up.

I tried the "Pen" tip and didn't like it. Unless the scratch is the exact width of the tip, it's no better than a small brush.

I got the color code from my door and found a pen at walmart, the same brand they sell at autozone, and used it on my hood and it turned out pretty good. It takes a bit of patients to make it look good. The color matched good, you can't really even tell unless the sun catches it just right.

There was a post about a product that made touch ups look perfect. I was supposed to remove all of the excess paint outside of the scratch or chip without removing the paint in the scratch.

It started with an L I think.
