Dr. Color Chip

Hey guys so i just got in the Dr color chip for my OB G37s Coupe. I have some scratches and chips that are too deep for any rubbing compound too take out. I will be posting some images up soon but overall impressions so far are good. Easy Product to use for the average DIYer

ive used this myself. bottom line is it will color in the chip but wont fill it in to look like it was never there. if u go close to it you will know its there, if you are a distance, its hard to notice. for what it is, it does a good job but no one should assume this will be just as good as a fresh paint job, cuz it isnt

having said that, this is still a good product imo

I got my kit the other day, had a small gouge in my front bumper on the plastic part and a few small rock chips. The color match is perfect, but it really didn't work as well as I'd hoped on the plastic. My color is KAD (graphite shadow).

I feel like it'd work much better on metal, but luckily I have no scratches on the metal. The problem seems to be when a rock hits the plastic, it craters and deforms the edges of the chip. The plastic on the front bumper is very soft. If you're careful with the "sealact" solution, the paint will stay in the chip, but I wasn't able to get it to be smooth and flat because of the deformity in the plastic. Doing the 3 ft test you can't see the chips, but any closer than that you'll notice the uneven surface still.

I'll give it another shot one of these weekends, maybe let it dry overnight and then try it again. I'll take pics this time with the dslr.

Bottom line, the paint matches well, it seems like it would have worked very well if the plastic wasn't "cratered". My advice is pick it up if you have any chips on the metal or just want to fill in some color on the plastic, but don't expect it to give you a smooth finish on the front bumper due to our soft plastic.
