Has anyone tried Dr color chip on a Cristal Red Metallic C6? This seam to be a hard color to match so it wont stick out like a sore thumb. This is on a daily so there are small chips on the nose that are driving me nuts. Thanks

Metallic will never blend right. The flake won’t lay the same. also the flake size and density could be different.

with that said Lankga with a few layers built up (giving like 12 hours to dry and cure between coats) has worked well for me in the past. both solid colors as well as metallics. Better than a gray spot.

I had a few very small chips on my Nightraceblue 427 when I bought it last year. I bought a Dr. Color chips touch up and I have to say, it works very well. You have to really look close to tell and it's even hard at that.
