I have a Dupli-Color 'Scratch Fix 2 in 1' touchup bottle (brush & pen) that has worked well for me in the past (rock chips and the like). The color is Silver Frost, p/n NG FM 341 (matches the 'CD Silver' pretty well).
Unfortunately, it is getting old and is now dryer than a popcorn fart. Any suggestions for touchup paint, or should I stick with Dupli-Color?

The Ford touch up tubes are about $6.00 and match as well as anything, I've used duplicolor sprays but no brush/pen stuff.

You have to watch out for Sonic blue, there were two different colors used by Ford.

Sonic Blue variations are probably not an issue with my car (CD Silver)! :lol:
