    I use this one. Works best if the area to be touched up is oil free. The pen needs to be kept top up when not being used because the finish will leak out of the tip and pool in the cap. Ask me how I know.

    Finish Touchup

    The touch up pen works very well for a quick cover up, but the thermoset finish is the most like factory coatings and is not that expensive. GeezerD

    This. Once a little oil works over it, it'll blend much BETTER.

    +1 for the Birchwood Casey flat black. I had to use it to touch up the bottom of my Colt slide when I had to have a new site staked. Blends well, very durable.

    Bye the way, they are about as bad as one day at the range maybe (if you were careful, but oops) or maybe a screwdriver of punch barely slipped.

    Refinish it yourself. Its simple, doesn't cost much, and is highly durable. Look at Norrells Moly Resin, or some of the Brownells finishes.
