Website says "you will also likely need a clear coat". Did you use a separate clear coat?

Also, did you get the little 2 oz jug, or the touch up Pen? Does the 2 oz jug have a brush inside?

Thanks

^ I went through OC Infiniti's eBay store (when I was still living in CA, I just picked it up at the parts dept when it was ready), but it comes with 2 bottles, base and top coat. The brush is on one end of the applicator while the 'pen' is on the other end. Works well...I have the 'moonlight white' color for my G37. For my old M35, I also picked up a set in 'diamond graphite'...both colors are unique so I just went thru the dealer. Here's the link:

Bought mine on Amazon for my liquid platinum sedan and it was a perfect match.

That dr colorchip looked a bit intimidating. The site I looked like looked like you apply it and then wipe it with this cloth? Is it like smearing it in or something?

Yeah, Drcolorchip looks intimidating . Oreiley(sp?) auto parts did a good Job for me.

Very easy to use. You clean the chip or nicks and apply a small blob of touchup paint and smear it by your finger with a provided glove. Wait a few minutes and then clean it with another liquid formula using the provided cloth. The extra paint or blob around the nick or chip will dissolve by the liquid formula provided and what is left is an even paint covering the chip/light scratches or nick. This is better than the touchup you bought at the dealership.

If you want to use a dealership touchup paint , you can go with the Lanka system. The Lanka system has another liquid formula that works for OEM touchup paints to remove excess paint . This way it can smooth out the painted area so the only thing covered by the paint is the actual exposed metal chip/nicks etc.


Here is a demo for DR COLORCHIP

I didn't bother with the clear coat. I got the 2 oz bottle and it came with a brush.

I used it on my door handle where someone must have opened their door next to me when I was parked and chipped the paint off my door-handle. It was small but noticeable enough to make me fix it. It was also in an awkward & curved vertical spot so not easy to fill. I ended up using a toothpick and just dabbing very small amounts of the paint into the chip and letting it dry before reapplying. Took me a bit of time, but now you really have to look for it to find it.

I also used the brush to put some under my front bumper where I took on some curb when parking. It worked good there too.

I just bought and tried Dr. Colorchip and was very disappointed with it. I applied the process 6 times and the last time I waited 35 minutes to dry and i can still see the chips. One of the chips was l little larger than the others, but 2 of them were very tiny. I can still see the chips. On the sixth try I just put a dab on the chip like you would with an ordinary touch up paint and waited 35 minutes before I wiped it. I watched all the videos and I'm sure I did it right. When I was finished it didn't look anything like the videos.
