i tried dr. colorchip and it didnt do anything for me. i was extremely disappointed with the results and how expensive it was for paint, 2 brushes, a glove, and a towel.

I agree Dr. Color Chip is the way to go. I have used the product with great results.

In some of the previous posts here regarding rock chip's I think the poor results (some are getting) is based on expectations. If the product does not work for you, then the only other results is have the area repainted. To me $50-60 dollars is alot cheaper than $500 to $600. I can live with the results Dr. Color Chip provides. IMO it's almost perfect.

i did just that and each one came out like crap... like ive said before in another rock chip thread, its possible that MAYBE i did something wrong but when its going step by step and i do whats on the directions and it comes out bad something happened.

I've always had a bottle of touch up paint and used a small paint brush to touch up rock chips. Just dab a little paint in the chip and let it dry. Once it's dry I go back and do it again until I have a little it is level with the surrounding paint. Depending on the car I will build up the paint so that it is higher than the surrounding paint. After it's fully cured I will wet sand it to level it out and polish it up. Most of the time you can't tell I had to touch it up

I wish I still had my old pictures from my old computer. I touched up a bunch of small chips on my TA and wet sanded and buffed and once it was done you couldn't tell it was touched up. Let me check my photobucket account to see if any are on there
