Toyota Tundra Forum

I was just wondering if any one knows if Toy makes a color match paint pen ? I used to get them for marking parts for welding and they came in several colors but want the salsa red any suggestions or places to check?

Here's a few I found TAMU... kinda pricey and the feedback I found on the effectiveness of paint pens is mixed:

How about getting a pint from your autody supplier along with a pinstriping kit? you could choose the tip best for the job

Cool thanks rarjar...I have a few things I am thinking about painting this will help ,
not a bad idea volley thanks might have to do that if these pen sticks feedbacks sound to iffy thanks

I saw white in Pepboys not long ago. Don't recall if they had salsa.

Those color matching paint I got from the dealer.. Toyota brand. Doesn't match 100%. I have Silver Sky color.

I think the best way to get color matching is to bring your gas gap into the auto paint supplier and let them match the color.

For a brand new vehicles... maybe it matches 100%... but not for few years old vehicles.

JMHO

My toyota touchup paint has a brush on one end and a ball point pen on the other. Ball point pen works best the first time you use it.
You need your vin# to get the right one.

Thanks for all the replies... I just got back from local toy house and purchased
some BG44k and a paint stick/pen haven't tried it yet but will be doing away from main paint area so it doesnt need to match 100%, and as a side note first time I have ever left a dealership without spending over $40.00 totally amazed, but I did give the new FJ's a once over (they come in a real maroon) lol

Personally, I think you ought to dig up some of that money you got buried in the back yard and buy yourself a maroon FJ TAMU, lol!
