    Hi all
    I scuffed the bottom corner of door on top of curve and wondering if a grigio ferro paint pen is the right tool for the job.

    Personally, I would go by the official paint number code tied to the car. The only thing I don't like about paint pens is that one needs a VERY steady hand to get perfect results.

    I've seen an alternative advertised on TV that claims to do a better job- Dr. Colorchip:

    Don't know if it is really better but was thinking about that process the next time I needed to do touch-up.

    They do list Ferrari colors, but I don't know if their list covers all paint codes.

    Good luck!

    For that, I'd use a paint pen, but I'd get it from www.paintscratch.com. They're tried and true. I've used their products on several different cars.

    I've also used Dr. Colorchip, but only for its primary purpose of repairing road rash on hoods and front bumpers. I don't see why it couldn't be used for this repair, but I do think a paint pen, or even a small brush, would be more appropriate. Nice that it's in a spot no one will see as long as you don't glob the paint on.
