Dr. Color Chip
I just wanted to give a product review on this stuff. If you've got lots of little pecks, this stuff is fantastic. You dab the paint on, smear it with your thumb, give it a few minutes and then wash off the excess with their remover. It gets ALL the excess and leaves all the pecks filled in and it really does work. I bought it and tried it on my wife's Lexus (I damn sure wasn't going to try that out on my baby until I knew it worked! 
).

Just one caveat, it will LOOK very good. It will fill in all the pecks. But it is a TOUCH UP SYSTEM, not a new paint job. You can still run your hand over the paint and feel the pecks. You just won't see them. I think a little edge sanding and a second coat might fix that too, but I haven't tried it yet.

As for Millenium Yellow, you have to send them your make/model/year and paint code so I assume that they send you the exact color for your car. As mine is black, it's a bit difficult to tell just how good the color match would be on something like Millenium Yellow. Sorry.
On edit - I went outside to take some pictures of it now, but the light isn't good enough. It just shows a black car. If you think it'll help, I'll try tomorrow before it gets dark and see if I can get you some better ones.

Well, the forum guidelines say you can't do so in a manner that winds up being an advertisement for the company.. I think in this case his genuine review is pretty safe, he's just providing some information and his experience with it... I hope that's still okay or I'll have to head for a forum where discussion of FARTING is allowed.

Wow... I don't think $50 is to much if it works to mask road rash. If it even masks the rash, I'm good to go. Beats paying $700+ that I've been quoted to clean up the front end and hood.

I tried this on MY on my door. I had a scratch in the door and on the very edge of the door. Its an improvement; but it's easily seen if you are looking at the car carefully.

I'm sure it is. Like I said at the start, it's a touchup, not a new paint job. Just as if you carefully used touchup paint and filled in the spot, you'd still see a chip that had been filled in.
The advantage is that it ONLY puts paint where the chip is and that you can apply to a very large area without getting excess paint on the surrounding paint. I don't for a minute want to give anyone the impression that once you've put it on, the chips are invisible because that's not the case. They're just touched up.
