What is brand of clear coat pen?

Many posts refer to clear coat pens but none specify the name brand. Or is everyone using the pen from the Airstream store? Thanks

I use pen from the Airstream Store, felt-like tip won't scratch the finish. I have run a line of clear acrylic along all the exposed (bare) panel edges so they don't corrode, it works. I use a smaller auto store type pen for any nicks or scratches because the felt tip is too wide for tiny touch-ups.

What brand in auto store? All I can find are paint pens. Not just clearcoat.

Look for touch-ups pens. Mine is in the outside storage compartment and we are inside our Airstream watching football (on the road in New Mexico). The fine pen has a metal tip, you push on it to release the acrylic. Be careful not to scratch the finish with it.

I bought some liquid clear coat at Walmart. It comes in one of those shake bottles much like touch up paint. It has a soft brush on the end. Works nicely. If you can't find it there look at any auto supply store that sells those bottles of touch up paint. You will find a clear coat there.
