So I ordered and tried this stuff and it seems to work pretty well as long as you keep in mind its a repair and not a repaint job. I did something stupid, I didn't take before/after pic's. However, if you follow the directions it does work pretty well. I'm the 2nd owner (which means I didn't do it!!!) and had an area on the drivers door where it looked like someone opened it onto some rough area, and there was a 3" rash on the door edge. First I used some nail polish removed on the areas to repair, thanks wife! To remove the wax. I applied the "colorchip paint, as per the directions, layering it on in the deep areas, then wiping it off right away with the glove supplied. Had another area on the corner near the back edge about the size of a nickle. Cleaned with polish remover, then applied the paint heavy, and wiped right away. The you apply this removed, putting a little on a cloth supplied, and gently moving, not rubbing across the paint area. It seems to re-flow the paint into the damaged area, and remove any excess from the surrounding. Then buff with a mirco rag. It turned out good, if you didn't now it was there before you would probably not notice. My Vette is Torch Red, the color in the heavy nickel area is just a 1/2 shade darker . Questins let me know. I think the stuff works pretty well, results depend on your color and size and area. I'm good with it.

 

I had a couple of deeper dings and a scratch on the top. It has taken several applications to fill them in, and I probably will do a few more applications. The color does match (DSOM).

 

I just used the GM touch up paint in Arctic White is the most forgiving color as far as scratches, touch-up and swirls go.

 

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I've been meaning to order the kit.

 

it worked great on my Lemans Blue Z06. Both rocker panels got hammered by gravel and had about 10 billion road rash chips. Now I'm hard pressed to find them at all. As stated above, it's not a repaint but it's a damn good cheap fix!

 

This sounds like a great product where do you get it and cost? Easy to do? This product is for something more serious than touch up?

 

Very easy to do. Cost is a little high. Small kit delivered for about $40. Google dr colorchip for web site.

 

I find that in time car needs touch ups every now and then.

 

I'm interested in this one.

We are now carrying the product and here some good results.

 

Not for $40.00?

 

Thanks for the review, Dr Colorchip offers three different size kits starting at $39.00 up to $59.00 for the larger repair kit.

 

I keep the kit on hand at all times. It does a good job.

 

The Wall Street Journal did a review of various touch up methods a couple of years ago. Dr Colorchip was thier top pick:

 

There must be more paint prep involved in this vs. just using touch up paint.

 

Sounds good but how does it look or work with metallic paints? Like Monterey Red.

 

Hmmmm......... no replies to metallics?

 

Thanks for the reviews have been interested in this product, will give it a try now.

 

I used it on my 05 magnetic red coupe. It did an OK job on some surface scratches. I wasn't as impressed as everyone else I guess. It was a perfect paint match, just didn't seem to "fill in" the scratches as well as I'd like. However, it's much better than basic touch up paint.

 

I used it on my very dark metallic blue Cadillac. and was very happy with the results.
