Dr. ColorChip
I had a couple of very small paint chips on my car so I thought I'd give Dr. ColorChip a try.
One of the chips was on the door threshold so I did that one first in case I screwed up but it worked fine. The Ermine White match was good. It's pretty cool the way you put a dab of paint NEXT to the chip and then smear the dab across the chip with your finger. The paint actually fills in the chip. Then you wipe it with the solvent to remove the excess from around the chip, wax the spot, and that's it. It was very hard to find the chips after I worked on them.
Of course my car is white so YMMV on a colored car. Not sure how it would work on a metallic color either. Expensive at $51 for the basic kit but I was impressed with it. Much nicer job than other touch up paints I've used.

You mean one of those droll infomercial products actually works ?
I'm nonplussed.
I've been using the Langka products for touch-up with their Blob Eliminator and custom mixed touch up paint for years:

It works as good as most of these products but, as with the others, always leaves you thinking you might have gotten the fix, "....just a LITTLE bit better".

I've used this product on my new Enclave that is a gray metallic and it worked fairly well.
Overall I think it was worth the money. The color is spot on but it's a late model car so that is probably easy.
