I had Mrs C's car washed today and noticed there are a few stone chips that could do with touching up. They're all very small individually so I was thinking of getting something like

https://www.paintnuts.co.uk/

For her car it's suggesting a touch up pen for £13.99.

Does anybody have any experience of this or, alternatively, are there any other products out there which are guaranteed to match colour?

Bought a touch up stick from ukautospares on ebay last week in my correct Toyota colour 1LO silver £7.

Had a single stone chip on the wedge panel just in front of the bonnet, touched up with the paint allowed it a couple of days to dry, just gone over with a very light T Cut and topped up the ceramic coating, can't find where the chip was for love nor money.

Chipex guarantees the colour. I have them for both of my cars.
One was perfect first time. The other needed a lighter colour. They sent the next shade out straightaway for free.

Use a cocktail stick to dab the paint on stone chips much easier and not such a big blob going on the chip

I used Paintnuts for our Tokyo Red Rav4 and it was an excellent match and easy to use, with great results. Paint code from their registration search was spot on.
