First, I am not affiliated with these folk in any way and have not gotten any "deal" or encouragement for posting this. I posted a question on this forum about trying to get touchup paint for my 2000 C-5 in Magnetic red tri-coat superduper incredibly hard to match paint....

I got replies for a few vendors but ended up ordering touch up paint kits for the Doc for my Vette, my Avalanche and my Charger R/T. I almost slapped myself when I clicked on "Submit order" for spending more than I thought I should for touch up paint.

Well, this was one of those times when in hindsight it was one of the best purchases I have made. This stuff is so easy to use and really looks great! I actually changed their procedure after doing some touch up on the Avalanche. I had some pretty bad chipping behind the rear wheel wells where rocks and road debris had been punishing the paint. I actually put this stuff on a very small squeegee and applied it to the chips almost like you'd fill holes in drywall. I then let it dry to the touch and used their buffing solution to remove the excess! After getting pretty good on the truck, I did the few on the charger and then felt good enough to tackle the Vette. My Vette was in pretty good shape but had a few dings and scratches like most 11 year old cars would. After using this stuff all of my cars look awesome! Pulling that stuff over the road rash behind the wheel wells was like watching some "Infomercial" where I couldn't believe my eyes as if Billy Mays himself made the scratch or rash disappear!

I'm sure there are other products and some may be as good or even better. All I know is their product is incredible! Wish I'd known about this stuff when my wifes Magnum got key'd. We might still have it!

I'm not going to include a link. Go look for it. You'll find it and if you look you may find my post months back where I asked the question. Some of you already probably don't believe I'm not with the company. I promise, I'm not!

Thank you to whoever pointed me to them!
