Look for dr colorchip. It works fairly well.

It depends upon the size of the chips. For chips smaller than a standard pencil eraser, Dr. Colorchip works good.

For larger chips, either one of those you posted will work, but you'll need to get Lanka Blob eliminator to level the area after it has dried.

Use a card wrapped with a thin cloth to gently remove excess. It's easy to pull the paint out, so if your not careful, you will do this. No big deal if you do, just start over.


Chip repair procedure.

Wash the area first to remove surface dirt.
Wipe the inside area of the chip with isopropyl alcohol. This will remove any waxes, sealants, or oils that will prevent the paint from bonding.

If your using Dr. Colorchip, it's usually ready after a few minutes, though chip size and ambient temperature may change dry time.

If your using standard touch up paint, allow 24 hours to dry before using Langka blob eliminator.

If your chips are on the "gill" areas of your rear quarter panels, I'd recommend getting rock guards. I had several show up when I first bought my Camaro, and after adding the guards, no new chips in these areas in almost 4 years.

Use a Brush, not the Pen type touch up. Pen type touch ups are worthless.

Automotivetouchup.com. I’ve used it on several different colored cars and everyone has been a great match and good paint. Also, I’m going try the langka kit for the rock digs. Sounds good.
