I recently came across an ad in Corvette Magazine for Dr Colorchip.
Has anyone tried this product? i'm really interested in how well it blends
with the surrounding clear coat. D'd like to give this a try on my yellow 2001. Any recommendations for this or any other paint chip product?

It works fine as long as you are 3-5 feet away. It does not work as well as they show, but it is about the best I found for small chips.

I had a small scratch in my B-Pillar drivers side maybe a 1/4" long and a 1/16" wide. it covered it and you need to be close to see it.

It won't completely take away the blemish, but it does a very good job covering it up.

There's a bunch of post about that on this forum. I'll bet if you search you'll fine quite a number of them.
