Geez that's a great looking vert. How many blems are we talking about. I've not had any experience with DR Colorchip but have heard good things for those that followed directions. I have a mil. yellow and have used a touch up paint from MidAmerica that seemed to work pretty well although exact matches are tough due to sun fading on the original paint. In my experience the technique is the most important element in the touch up and for that I would suggest doing a search on the Car Care section of the Forum where there is a lot of good information. Good luck with it.

I would suggest paintscratch.com I have always had a perfect match of paint--on all of my vehicles--including my motorcycles. All bottles are made to the order. Fresh paint that will last longer in the bottle.

If they don't stock it--they will make up a small bottle--just give them the manufacturer's paint code. They did this for my 1992 F150 interior color. Perfect match in color and sheen. Same for the painted aluminum wheels of my FJR1300.

I have used DR COLOR CHIP on my C3 after 2 long road trips, one to Tulsa, OK, from Tinley Park, IL, and the second a long trip out to Estes Park, Colorado, a 2,400 mile trip with the attendant chips, etc., and it is fantastic, if you look at the car, you absolutely cannot see the repairs...

Go on youtube and check out their videos and user's vids, their system works pretty well, actually way better than anything else for me, anyway.....

Here is a photo on Jan 1st, 2017, AFTER I fixed the chips from both of those above trips..... There WERE about 20 small chips in the paint over the whole front end, they are pretty much invisible now-
