MSG Chip Repair
Anybody have any luck with Medium Spiral Gray chip repair? I tried the Langka system and paint from Automotive Touchup on my front plate cover. The results were OK.

IMHO, MSG is a pretty complicated color to begin with...it's not going to be factory by any measure.
How big are the chips?

Thanks Vetteman Jack. I'll take a look.
tough repair. Most chips are the size of a tooth pick point. Various light scratches relatively minor. There is one very large chip on the hood that is about 1/4 inch in diameter that is definitely out of my league.
In the spring I did a yearly clay and polish and I am noticing alot more damage. White specs from the polish or wax. I am pretty sure this car was detailed before and the previous touch up is just falling out or being removed when I polish.
I was mostly disappointed with the color match from Automotive Touchup, too dark. Again, not bashing Automotive Touchup, this color does appear to be a tough color to match. The Langka System seems to work just fine. I am going to stop by at a local automotive paint supplier to see if a better match is possible.
