Dupli-Color Universal Touch Up Pen - Gloss Clear 0.5 fl oz, Dual-Tip Precision & Prep

Dupli-Color Universal Touch Up Pen in Gloss Clear is a compact all-in-one tool that cleans, seals and fills small paint chips and fine scratches for a near-invisible finish.

Keep a small, effective repair kit on hand with this 0.5 fl. oz. touch-up pen from Dupli-Color. Designed to combine surface prep and paint application in one portable unit, it helps address everyday paint nicks, stone chips and minor rust spots without the need for separate cleaners or brushes. The dual-tip design gives you precision for hairline scratches and a broader applicator for larger areas, while the gloss clear formula restores shine and helps blend repairs into surrounding paint.

How does this pen prepare the damaged area before painting?

The built-in prep tip quickly removes rust, flaking paint and loose debris so the clear coat adheres evenly. Proper surface prep reduces lift and improves durability of the repaired spot. This step eliminates the need for separate sanding or chemical strippers for small fixes.

• Prep tip lifts loose paint and rust for a clean bonding surface
• Small area cleaning prevents contamination under the clear coat
• Ready-to-use system removes extra tools for simple jobs

When should I use the pen tip versus the tapered brush?

Use the pen tip to trace and fill hairline scratches and paint nicks where pinpoint control matters. Switch to the tapered brush for shallow chips or slightly larger areas that require more coverage. Both options allow smoother blending with adjacent paint compared to single-purpose products.

• Pen tip: ideal for thin scratches and precision touch-ups
• Tapered brush: covers chips and broader imperfections quickly
• Both tips deliver the same gloss clear finish for uniformity

What results can I expect after application?

The gloss clear formulation restores surface sheen and conceals minor damage when applied correctly. While not a substitute for full repainting, it significantly improves appearance and helps protect the exposed area from moisture and further corrosion. Results depend on surface prep, ambient temperature and the size of the repair.

• Restores shine to blend repairs with surrounding paint
• Provides short-term protection against moisture and contaminants
• Best for small scratches, chips and touch-up spots under 1 inch

How long will a single 0.5 fl. oz. pen last and how do I store it?

A 0.5 fl. oz. pen covers multiple small repairs; lifespan varies with chip size and frequency of use. Keep the cap tightly closed and store the pen upright in a cool, dry place to avoid drying out. For best performance, follow label directions and replace when flow diminishes.

• 0.5 fl. oz. suitable for several small touch-ups or a few larger chips
• Store upright with cap on to preserve applicator function
• Replace the pen once paint flow or gloss coverage decreases
