I've used it on a Pontiac Solstice and Jaguar XK with mixed success. Trick is to use multiple thin applications, then wipe lightly with the pink solvent solution between applications. This is the best method for a really deep ding. That allows the paint to build up...

I have used it on my torch red '12 coupe and my same color mazda miata and the color match was dead on both cars. I only had a tiny little chip on my mirror and it filled it easily and you could not tell at all. The paint they give you is nice and thick (not runny like oem touch up paint) and very easy to use. For road rash i would put some on a old tee shirt and spread it around, let it dry, do it again and then take it off with the solution they give you. Worked very well on both my cars.

I have used it on small chips and it does a pretty good job. With a large amount of road rash I would give it a try but would also consider having it painted by a pro.

I haven't used it yet, but a friend with a Red MX-5 swears by it. In fact, I couldn't find where the chips were! Ended up having to buy the couple breakfast!
If I needed it, I'd buy it! Seems to work very well.
