Used it on my 2001 Pacific Blue Jaguar XKR. The color match was very good. There are a few things I did not like.
It is not as easy as they say to fill in the chip. If the chip is deep, you have to keep applying it until it is level. You also have to be very careful when you use the "special" leveling liquid. It is very easy to remove to much.
The other thing I did not like is that this is a paint like substance only. Since most cars have clear coat on top, you end up with a lot of dull spots. I also found that you can not really buff this stuff. It is soft and when you try to buff it, it just smears.
Having said that, from 10 feet away, it doesn't look too bad. I guess for a small chip or scratch, that is not to obvious, it is ok. But it is not going to come close to an invisible fix.
