Any pics with Dr. Colorchip?

 

Not yet. The kit has arrived but with th holidays I am busy and will likely do it between Christmas and New Years.

 

I have been trying to get a good after pict, but its difficult because of lights and angles.
In person its easy to see, but as mentioned it just covers the chip. Here is the best picture I could muster up.



Too far away and you cant see it, too close and my camera cant handle it.
If I can get a better shot I will post again.

 

That doesn't look too bad

 

Here are a few of the pics that I took after applying Dr Colorchip.



The pics are difficult to discern where the chips were. I actually applied more than 15 coats of their touch up paint, smeared, and finally used the sealactant to smooth out the excess. Overall, I was happy with outcome. My chips were pretty big so they are still a little noticeable, but it is a dramatic improvement over the way it was. I think I would have gotten better results if the chips were smaller, but this system beats having to re-paint the hood and I can live with it.

One thing I was getting frustrated over, was when you apply the sealactant to smooth out the excess paint, it also can take off some of the paint that you want to stay in the chip (which is why I had applied so many coats). Then I wised up and would only use the sealactant on the any areas outside the chip, so the touch up paint in the chip remained and hid the chip.

So I would definitely recommend this product with the caveat that it doesn't replace repainting a panel but its a lot cheaper and less hassle than a body shop.

 

Good to know, might have to do this myself. In the first pic, I didn't realize that one spot is the reflection of an overhead light and instead thought it was a spot where you used the paint. Looks good.

 

Thanks....like I said..It ain't perfect but it is better than before

 

My bumper and hood definitely need some help. Was thinking about respraying both, but I'm gonna have to try this first.
