So I ordered and tried this stuff and it seems to work pretty well as long as you keep in mind its a repair and not a repaint job. I did something stupid, I didn't take before/after pic's. However, if you follow the directions it does work pretty well. I'm the 2nd owner (which means I didn't do it!!!) and had an area on the drivers door where it looked like someone opened it onto some rough area, and there was a 3" rash on the door edge. First I used some nail polish removed on the areas to repair, thanks wife! To remove the wax. I applied the "colorchip paint, as per the directions, layering it on in the deep areas, then wiping it off right away with the glove supplied. Had another area on the corner near the back edge about the size of a nickle. Cleaned with polish remover, then applied the paint heavy, and wiped right away. The you apply this removed, putting a little on a cloth supplied, and gently moving, not rubbing across the paint area. It seems to re-flow the paint into the damaged area, and remove any excess from the surrounding. Then buff with a mirco rag. It turned out good, if you didn't now it was there before you would probably not notice. My Vette is Torch Red, the color in the heavy nickel area is just a 1/2 shade darker . Questions let me know. I think the stuff works pretty well, results depend on your color and size and area. I'm good with it.

 

Thanks for the write-up, however--pic's would have made this a much more useful thread.

 

Have been wondering about that stuff. Saw a demo at Bloomington Gold this year and was impressed. Good to hear the average Joe has good results with it.

 

Thanks for the info. I've been looking for an effective solution to address a scratch.

 

I really want to see this stuff on Milenium Yellow to see the color match. Glad you had good results.

 

Wonder how Anniversary Red would hold up or turn out ?

 

for the price of this stuff I can't understand why you guys are holding off. I'll bet at least 2 of you have spent 3 times as much for a fuzzy ball for you shift lever (lol).

Seriously, for the price, ease of application and results on stone chips this is the absolute best touch up system I've used in the past 54 years. It REALLY works - on sone chips and SMALL scratches.
You CAN NOT re-paint your car with this stuff.

Try it, you'll like it.

 

Sounds like it would work great on nose chips.

 

Just ordered the smallest size ("fixes up to a dozen chips") for $48.00 shipped.

LeMans Blue '04.

I'll get before and after pics.

 

Where can one order this from? I have an AW FRC with a small chip or so that could use a touch up.

 

Just go google Dr. Color Chip it walks you through the ordering by model and color. Mind came in about 4 days.

 

I'm really interested how it turns out. Also have LeMans Blue '04 CE.

 

This is too funny, I just ordered from them 5 minutes ago, '04 Z16 Lemans Blue!!! Used it in the past on another car, worked pretty good.

 

any after pictures?

 

My kit arrived today. 3 days since I ordered.

I haven't even opened it yet cuz we left for a couple day trip.

I'll post when we get back and I apply the kit. Before/after pics will be included.

Stay tuned.

 

waiting for pics

 

The website says that darker colors work better. So it's not so great on silver and white. If it stays in the chip/scratch, it should look good on an AE Red.

OK....here we go, as promised.

I opened up the kit and here are the contents:
Instruction sheet, small bottle of LMB paint, 1 nitrile glove, lint-free cloth, double-ended brush with a very tiny pointed tip on one end, and a bottle of blending solution.


The instructions say to be sure the areas you're gonna work on are clean and dry. Then use rubbing alcohol to remove wax from the affected areas. Next you apply the paint with the supplied brush, and immediately but gently wipe excess paint off with the flat of your nitrile-gloved thumb. You want the new paint flat with the existing surface.

Let the paint dry at least 2 minutes and then use the blending solution on the supplied lint-free cloth to remove paint from where it shouldn't be, and finally buff with a microfiber cloth or fluffy cotton towel of your own.

I went around the car with the paint, immediately wiping with the nitrile glove. Took me about 10 minutes, so I figured I was ready for the blending solution. It did a nice job of re-flowing the paint, while removing it from non-affected paint surrounding the scratch. About 15 minutes to go around the car. I probably had about 10 areas to repair, mostly tiny rock chips. The worst scratch is on the rear fascia, and it was pretty deep. I think I'm gonna redo it and layer paint in there better as mentioned in a post above.

Again, most of mine were tiny, so I've got a lot of paint and blending solution left over to work with.

Here's a couple of before/after pics, as best I could capture them.

Before: Driver's side headlight cover, with 6 or 7 tiny rock chips.




After: The stickies were placed as I painted so I didn't miss any areas with the blending solution. I placed the stickies ABOVE the treated scratches, so look below.



Before: Deep fascia scratch



After:



Here's what the wiping cloth looked like after completing the blending solution wipedown.



Here's the supplied brush with the tiny tip, after use.



Again, I've got a couple of spots that I'm gonna hit again, but I think it did a better job than any of the standard "touch-up" paints I've used before.

 

It appears the LMB paint they sent you is a couple shades too light.

The procedure appears solid, though. It would be interesting to see how it works with paint that is a better match.

 

Another pretty good system....http://www.langka.com/ that I have used with success.
