Im looking for some kind of a pen that I can put paint into in order to do very specific areas of bodywork where small bubbles have occured. Has anyone got any idea where I could get one? Havent had much look so far but they must exist or something similar at least. Thanks!

Just heard about them from someone at a garage but yeah, I suppose a brush would be just as good.

If you already have some paint then to do spots I slice a cotton bud at an angle, a bit like an old fashioned quill pen, then just pick up enough paint to 'dot' it on the spot. Just dot a little and let it dry then repeat until you've built up the level.

You can get very fine artist paint brushes, perfect for small jobs. I have one that i have been using on Paddy. You just need a steady hand.

I use a cable tie.

Dab a bit on over a couple of days until its above the surrounding paint and when it's hardened off, gently flat it with 1200 and polish up.
