Default Dr Color Chip to the Rescue

So after waiting 10 days to get my kit I did the deed today, not too bad, would rather not have them but what are you going to do
NSF
Guess I should include a "before" shot in case you haven't seen it

How long did it take you to do that? I can barely see the chip in the final picture.

Looks great!!

What's your secret? Every time I try it, I end up smearing most of the paint out of the chip. What's your technique so that doesn't happen?

Thanks

The secret is building up layers until the paint is even with the surface.

Yes, you will wipe out most of the paint on each layer, but if you have patience, you will succeed after a few to several layers! With this product, you can afford the learning curve, as it it 100% reversible, so if you don't like the results, wipe them off with acetone and start over.

Yep, I'm going to get their little gel squeegee as I think that method will work best to fill the "pocket" with paint.
You will always be able to see the chip in the right light but it does conceal them pretty well.
Lots of Youtube videos watched, some good some bad

Default What color is your car?

Thanks for the touch up information. I'll probably try the Dr. Color Chip system on my car. BTW, what color is your car?
