I bought the genuine vw touch up paint from ebay (uk) for about $10.

paint touch up set applicator
Part Number: LST 0M2 R5Z - Rising Blue Metallic
Paint Code: R5Z
Pack: 18ml
Cost: $22.30

It is a brush applicator type and he recommend me practice on an inconspicuous area before actually doing the final application

Thanks dny, perfect timing as I picked up a chip on the R a few days ago. I quoted your paint code to my dealers parts department who insisted they knew better....they eventually conceded you were right. Mine was $19.20. It's worth noting it included a bottle of clearcoat as well, I wasn't expecting that.

Touch-up pencil? Is it a very fine point brush in the kit?

This is excellent news. I will give this to my wife to slip in her handbag then whenever she borrows the car she can spend some time touching up the scrapes as soon as she gets home........

It looks just like the brush in my other halfs nail polish, so not too fine at all.
