Chatsworth, CA: No matter how careful you are, sooner or later your car or truck is going to get rock chips and scratches. In the old days you’d try to brush touch-up paint into the damaged area, with questionable success. Brush marks, drips, stray fibers and smears all conspire to ruin the repair and make the damage more obvious than when you started.

Now there’s another approach: the AutoSharp Pen™ from AutoVisuals™. Though it might look like a basic office highlighter, the AutoSharp Pen™ is actually a spun aluminum cylinder loaded with a generous supply of paint, which is custom-mixed to match your vehicle’s factory paint color. The durable fine-point felt tip is spring-loaded for precise flow of paint and the body contains a rattle agitator for thorough mixing prior to each use. And unlike many touch-up products, AutoVisuals™ doesn’t use old-technology lacquer paint. AutoVisuals™ uses only premium-quality urethane paints, the same type used by carmakers for optimum appearance and durability.

Simply shake the AutoSharp Pen™ vigorously, depress the tip on a flat surface to get the paint flowing, then “color in” the damaged area and let dry. The no-fuss application means multiple coats can be easily applied to fill deep chips and scratches. The replaceable felt tips are designed to precisely fill even the narrowest scratches and tiniest chip marks without over-application, yet can be worked in small circles to fill wider voids. There’s also a handy clear-coat AutoSharp Pen™ available so you can complete the repair with a glossy clear top coat.

The AutoSharp Pen™ is available for most domestic and imported cars and trucks manufactured later than 1980.
