Default Langka

Has anyone used Langka paint chip repair? Does it really do what it claims? Thank you.

I've used it and it seems to work. It certainly made the globs much less noticeable just don't wait too long to use it or else you'll be rubbing for a while.

I am much less happy with the Lexus touch-up paint which, IMHO, didn't match the paint that well causing me to be generally unhappy with the result.

I've used it and recommendit it highly. It works great. The best part is, if you make a mistake, you are erasing any mistake as you make it.

My RX is 202 Black Onyx and the Toyota/Lexus touch-up paint matched perfectly.

I've read alot of mix reviews from other car boards, and I've also tried it out on my own black GS430, the result is ok. I have a big chip on my front hood, I think langka made the repair less noticeable, however, it's not as perfect as how they're being advertised.

Finally had my hood repainted, and put clear bra on. now no more worries.

Thank you guys for your inputs. Perhaps I will just repaint the hood every 2 years or so. The last thing I want to do is to mess up my loved one.

Again, that's the beauty of Langka, if you make a mistake, you are erasing any mistake as you make it. It would be difficult to mess up.

I used Langka to remove the old touch up paint by previous owner (wasn't even same color). and then I used 202(black) touch up paint from toyota ($5 less than lexus, same thing) + Langka again. I'm happy with the result but I think I can do better job if I do it again.
