Dr. Color Chip

I am getting ready to use Dr Color Chip on my 2003 Anny Red convertible. There are small areas of road rash including the back of both mirrors. No deep chips, just small annoying ones. Anyone have any hints on using this product, or results? Thanks, Dick S.

Shake well and follow the directions. Might have to go back once or twice depending on the size.

Drying time is the secret! I use a pice of cut up tshirt and very lights rub across it to remove excess. Try not to do back and forth as it will rub paint right out of chip.

Prep the area well to remove wax. Don't use excessive pressure when removing he excess. Don't expect miracles and you won't be disappointed.

Please post some pics of your finished work.

Yes, please do post up pics and the results. I have use Langka and it does OK, but always looking for something that may be better.

I too will be looking for pics. Considering this myself,but always skeptical of the manufactures claims. It ALWAYS works perfect for them. Want to hear some real world results!!

Use a Q-tip with PPG Acyli-clean DX-330 - or if you can't get this DX-330, denatured alcohol will work.
