Dr paint chip

[frankprozzoly]

Has anyone tried this product. My car is black. I have about 5 pretty small chips in the hood. They're white so I'm assuming they're through clear and paint. I watched larry from ammo nyc repair chips on his black Porsche. The guy is a pro and very anal. I don't think I could come close to his results. I don't want a body shop screwing up my new car either

You mean Doctor Color Chip?

I'm interested too. My mom's brand new CRV got chip on it and a deep scratch.

Go for it! (old Stallone quote!)

Factory touch up paint can be a better paint IMO, but, then there's the blobs you have to deal with, and about the only way I've found to deal with such is with wet sanding.

And that's where you can encounter a recipe for disaster, sanding through the clear coat, and then you will be "in a world of Shyt"! (Like Pvt Pyle)

No chance of that happening with the Dr C Chip. Screw up, just continue on with the Sealact Solution, and remove your screw-up, and start all over again till you get it right.

A little learning curve with the product, but if I can succeed, just about anyone can.

I consider myself a very good detailer, but a horrid touch up guy.

On my beloved 17 year old chevy Tahoe, I had about 1/2 dozen noticeable chips (in my eyes since I owned it since new) on the higher body panels, very very minor mind you, smaller than a BB, but I knew they were there.

Now, after the Dr C Chip touch up, I don't even lie awake at nights anymore thinking about them, and would be hard pressed with a magnifying glass to find them again.

Great product.

Do all this sort of touch up first, then wait 2-3 weeks to fully harden before you think about full paint correction, and then sealing-waxing-coating.

A good product, and company, highly recommended!

^. Completely agree! My older Mazda 6 was a hwy chip magnet.

Doctor Color Chip was my savior. It just takes some practice, but a good product as a good price.

Now one would think black is the easiest color in the world to re-paint, or touch up.

Baloney, there must be 3000 or more different shades-hues of black, just like there is white.

Any issues with a mismatch, they will work with you. That's why I said they are a good company.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot

I found a before and after pic from my Mazda. This is after two applications (only 1 kit) and a compound, polish, wax.





Up close you could tell, but @ 5ft away, not a chance.

Just take you time and practice on one chip. Get that perfect, then apply your knowledge :-)

unfortunately I wasn't so lucky
I bought this product to use on my daily driver CTS V Coupe and it just didn't do what it claimed to do
very expensive for such a total failure IMHO
would have been better off with the dealer touch up paint

Did the paint not match?
