I have metallic black and use it on mine and it does a good job. It might match a little better with a clear on it. I prefer it to traditional touch up paint. It only covers the chip and there is no excess paint around the chip when you wipe it with the solution that comes with the kit. It's worth it in my opinion.

Works fine but you need to follow the instructions and allocate the time to do it right. If there are allot of chips you may be better off to just have the bumper cover repainted. Usually a typical bumper cover repair and paint is around $500.

I've used it on my '66. Color matches perfectly, and yes, it's pricey AND it has a short shelf life, but worth it IMO.

I have used it on my Tahoe, Volvo, BMW and Corvette with good luck. Follow the directions. If you put too much, wipe it off and start over. Follow the directions. Sometimes it take two or three applications to the same spot, but do not use too much at a time. It will not work well on deep scratches or big rock chips but will make big chips look better. Small rock chips virtually disappear.
