Has anybody tried Dr. Colorchip. I have a bunch of paint chips and small road rash chips on my hood and front bumper and would love something that is better at taking care of that then just the sloppy bottle of dealer paint and a toothpick or brush that never turns out that well. I have read a few people who really like Dr. Colorchip or Langka and others who say it is not worth the expensive price it is.

I got a huge road rush yesterday on my driver side sideskirt and lower portion of the driverside rear door so i'm thinkin bout doing this...gonna pickup some touchup pen base and clear coat. Do you think some PB SSR2.5 with a yellow pad would be enough to polish out the sanding or should i get some SSR3.5/IP?
One rash on top.. and a huge one on the bottom.

btw anybody that needs a color match or a sample.... CALL YOUR NEAREST autobody shop and ask them for a touch up kit. This will be a PERFECT match and will come in a nailpolish like container.
When I did autobody we used to give these out all the time, sometimes for free if they were a returning customer.
If they dont then that shop is brutal and you probably shouldnt ever go there for any body work lol

I agree nowadays Lexus paint is really soft , really easy to chip. Just had my 3rd LEXUS obsidian black five months ago , the hood chipping like no one cares. I planning to have it repainted and put a clear bra on it next spring. But i was wondering if anyone tried this method before? other than the OP?
