Free OEM Touch Up Paint Pen
Tried mine today for the first time.
First attemp didn't go so well so I wiped away the paint as I had too much applied. The instructions say to squeeze the pen while applying and I guess I squeezed too much.
In this cae less is definitely more.
In my second attempt I was much more diligent and had better results. Although I don't recall seeing it explicitly stated it seems to work best to gently squeeze the tube and push down with the tip while applying.
One big advantage of this seems to be the control aspect in that you can do a pin point spot whereas the touch up pen from the dealer is very indiscriminate.

Code still works...you have to go to their store (catalogue) and click on "coupon" in the upper left corner.
Just ordered mine for 9.74USD. I hope they don't charge me for a currency exchange.
Just got my pens in! Comes with a base coat and pearl finish pen. Trying out this Wednesday...will take B/A photos.

Just an update from me on this touch-up pen.
I received it very quickly with the code mentioned in this thread.
I had a scratch right next to my door handle on my drivers side door.
Should mention that I have Athens Blue Color and I had great hopes from this product since a lot of people on here bought it.
I applied the pen as instructed shaking for about a minute and a half after washing and drying the car. Then applied the pen and allowed it to dry.
Long story short, the pen color is noticeably darker than the original Athens Blue and now sticks out like a sore thumb. I would have actually rather seen the scratch than this.
I will post photos this weekend after I wash it. Just figured I would share my experience with the pen.

The color match for Obsidian Black looks pretty decent. A bit more paint came out than I wanted when I filled the chip so the "after" image is after some wet sanding as well (hence the lighter areas on either side where the clear coat got scratched). From the looks of things, it should be almost unnoticeable after a good polish.
