I did my first annual wash with Dawn today and decided to touch-up the paint using Langka before using Zaino for the first time. I had about 12 dings that I wanted to touch-up. I was amazed that two thirds of the dings were impossible to find after the the first treatment. The other third are either wide enough or deep enough to require a second treatment on my 2001 Pewter vert. I had to mark the dings that needed treatment with blue painters tape to make them easier to find even though I have 1000 watts of halogen in the garage. Very happy with this product.

 

I have tried their paint chip repair kit two times now and either I can't follow their instructions properly or it just doesn't work for 02 Quicksilver. The touch up paint itself hides things pretty well. But when I try to use their soft cloth with Blob Eliminator to rub the paint blog flat, it turns it about 10 shades too dark and if I keep rubbing until it looks like it's even with the rest of the finish, it's already just about totally gone. Just doesn't work for me.

 

Could you be a little more specific what the product does? Does it fill in the ding? Does it color it with paint? Have never heard of it or anyone who uses it.

 

You use your normal touch up paint in a paint chip (like from flying rocks) and then the Langka product is supposed to very gently remove the excess until your touch up paint blob is flush with the rest of the finish.

 

The LANGKA product is a very fine polish. You apply it to a cloth (cotton t-shirt) and wrap the cloth around the supplied plastic card, then rub the polish until the "blob" is smoothed down to the same level as the host paint surface.
I've used this product also and it works pretty good. The metallic paints are harder to match though and results may not be as satisfactory as with a solid color. The Dark Cherry Metallic on my previous '96 Impala SS was difficult to match w/o it being a little darker. Make sure the touch up paint you're using is the correct paint. Some require a clear coat be applied separately. That will be more difficult to use with LANGKA or MOTHER'S.
MOTHER'S is a licensed distributor for the product.

 

Bell,
I'm not sure what problem you are having but I was careful to make sure I had the correct paint code on the paint I bought at the local dealer. (with my luck i would buy the wrong color or something) Maybe you could call Lankga and ask them for their advice. I only waited for the minimum time of two hours before removing the excess paint. On the second application I am going to wait about 12 hours before removing the excess. Countless times when I was younger I touched up paint on other cars and was happy to fill in the ding but you could always find the left over blob. I've been told that pewter was difficult to touch-up but so far I have had no problems.
Thanks

 

How about some pic"s........

 

I've tried it on dark metallic red and it was...

 

Thanks for posting, good to know.

 

I wish I knew what the problem was - if I knew I would do it properly. I'm using the GM touch up paint that I got from Mid America. Anywhere I've used it (without trying to use the Langka product) it appears to be a perfect match with the original 2002 Quicksilver. At first I thought I wasn't letting it dry sufficiently, so on subsequent attempts, I let it dry overnight (same result) and then for about two days (same result again). When I first start rubbing the paint blob with the soft cloth coated with Blob Eliminator polish, wrapped tightly around the provided plastic card, the paint blob immediately turns VERY VERY dark - you could see that spot all the way across a parking lot!!! It seems like some kind of chemical reaction. I've even tried smoothing it down, leaving it dark, and then letting it dry more, thinking that the Langka was just soaking into the paint blob and would eventually dry out. Again, waiting until the next day, it was still WAAAAAY darker than the surrounding paint. So I rubbed some more until all the paint blob is gone and I'm back to the original chipped area. I've tried this several times, and have now just plain given up on this product. If anyone knows that I'm doing something wrong, please let me know what to do differently and I'll try again (yes, after a year, the paint chip is still there). I'm open to suggestions.
