Re: How to use the Dr. ColorChip Paint Chip Repair Systems
Mike, great article!
Quick question - I have a customer who wants rock chip repair completed on the front bumper and the hood. I will also be doing a full correction on the car as well.
I was planning on using the Dr. Colorchip system. Would I do this first after washing and decontaminating the vehicle and then wait for it to dry then start correcting the paint? Or would I do the entire correction first then apply Dr. Colorchip prior to LSP?
Hope that is not a silly question!

Good or bad... when I write an article I try to cover all the bases.
I think through all the questions I would have if I was interested in a topic and then answer them in detail. (no pun intended)
How did it turn out?

Re: How to use the Dr. ColorChip Paint Chip Repair Systems
For the user who not only wants to hide the chip but also correct the surface imperfection, could you still apply the traditional touch-up paint method with this product? I'm referring to slowly building upon the "crater" until a slight crown of paint is formed, then sanding the crown to level the surface and finish with a compound/polish.
If you're asking, "Why not just purchase the traditional touch-up paint for that method?", it appears that the touch-up paint applicator from the dealer does not match the OEM paint well for my car based on complaints from other users. Users on the forums have said that Dr. ColorChip's paint matches exactly.
Thanks!

Yes to the first part of the process you describe.
Probably "no" to the second part of the process you describe.
The thing that's hard about sanding down the touch up paint blob is that the touch up paint will sand EASY. If you get any sanding marks in the FACTORY paint, well it's HARD and it will be HARD to sand the sanding marks out of the factory paint.
About 99.9% of the time when someone tries this when they try to buff out the sanding marks they buff them out of the touch-up paint and then in order to buff the sanding marks out of the factory paint they CONTINUE BUFFING and then heat up all the paint and then the buffing pad will YANK the blob of paint off of the car.
Now you're back to where you started only you still have the sanding marks in the paint surrounding the blob. What will happen if you continue to try this is you will turn a mole hill into a mountain.
A better idea is to lower your expectations, fill in the chip and walk away.
I actually show this and explain this in the article that is the first page of this thread.

For those of you with multiple vehicles you can buy just a small bottle of paint at the Dr Colorchip website. I found this out after buying 3 complete kits. It’s a good way to save some cash.
