This felt-tip applicator provides precise coverage for scratches, wear marks, and oxidation on aluminum surfaces, restoring the original appearance with minimal effort.
What Makes This Different
Unlike spray-on finishes that require masking and ventilation, this pen applicator allows targeted application without overspray or waste. The felt tip delivers consistent coverage in a durable gloss black finish that bonds directly to aluminum surfaces. The quick-drying formula eliminates the need for extended curing times, making field repairs practical and efficient.
