Default Ruby red touch up paint

I washed the Escape on Saturday and noted two very small stone chips on the lower front door and one on the rear passenger door. Does anyone know if there are any small touch up pens or little bottles in Ruby red you can buy at an auto store or can a Ford dealer supply the same. Thanks in advance.

I use the above, make sure that you don't use the supplied brush, they are too big, grab an artists paint brush from a craft store or office works.



Also make sure you double check your paint code, I think there are two versions of Ford Ruby red.

Thanks for the responses and the suggestions. The artist paint brush is a great tip and I will check the paint code.

Rang the Parts dept of my selling dealer today and they have small nail polish type bottles for $20. Will pop down in the next day or so. I like the artist brush tip and will give that a go as the chips are very small and fine. Thanks again to all of you for the replies.

Better than any brush is fake eyelash applicators. Detailing shops charge a mint for these but grab em off eBay. Perfect for touch ups, cheap as chips and throw in the bin once done.
