Just saw a commercial on tv just now for this touch up paint from dr.colorchip.com for your car and was wondering if anyone has heard of it or tried it. I dont have any use for this product since i dont have any chips or scratches, but it just seems like its one of those to good to be true products.

been around for like 20 years, used before and just like i thought, good color match but i can still see it.

expensive, have seen some things invisible, but not all

I have 2 very very small chips in the rear 1/4 panel and its kind of hard to tell but it looks like they are down to the metal so I was thinking about getting this too. Expensive yes but if it makes it almost invisable??? Maybe its a good thing. This has to be better than down to the metal and open and exposed....especially since I live in SD.

wmlunt · 10-12-2011, 10:44 PM

you can do the same with touch-up paint and a rubber spatula

I'm anxious to see the results too... I have a number of chips now.

I got some for my 4th gen, the color was spot on but you can still tell where the chip was.

Bonanza7 · 10-13-2011, 10:34 AM

Why not use the touch up paint from GM? Perfect match, and if you take your time, almost invisible.

cuspid · 10-13-2011, 10:37 AM

What is the solution they use to wipe the excess paint off with???

armysig · 10-13-2011, 11:05 AM

I have the kit, and it's very simple to use. Once you have the paint on the spot you wipe it, then let it dry for a few minutes. The chemical that is used to clean off the spot is called a blender. I'm guessing it cleans off excess paint and then seals the spot you touched up. I have done my entire bumper and yes if you're a foot away from the car you can tell that there were touch ups done, but once you step away you never see the spots.

I have gone further and I have used my Adam's Polishes method to clay bar,polish and wax the bumper and it looks fantastic. Yes you can still spot the chips if you really look but it looks better than if you had not done it at all.

If you buy the kit, I would suggest you get the least exspensive one as it will last a LONG time. Just remember to follow the instructions for storing the kit once you're done. The cap will dry and seal the bottle shut if you don't.
