Default Dr. Colorchip touch up paint

This stuff is amazing. Easy to use and only takes a few minutes. If you have any chips in your paint its worth every penny.

Cool, thanks for the info. I was thinking of picking this up. I have too many tiny rock chips on my hood from highway driving I was looking to touch up.

Cool info. Where did you buy this? Also, how did you apply it to the rock chips on your car? Car is looking better than ever

Yes it works better than oem paint that i got from sewell. www.drcolorchip.com is where i purchased it from. First, you clean the area with this cleaner that comes with it. Second, you use one of the 4 brushes included to apply the paint and smear the paint with your thumb. Give the paint a couple of minutes to dry then use the same cleaner as in step one to wipe off the extra paint. That is all you do. I had roughly 20 -30 spots on my hood and bumper. Took me less than an hour and i still have over half the bottle of paint left.

LOOKS LEGIT!!! I have to get this for my car. I got so many rock chips just on my hood. I thought I was going to have to get my front end resprayed. Hey its a cheap price and if it doesn't work then I will get the front end resprayed.

I was going to head over to the dealership to buy some lexus factory touch up paint, but should I get this stuff instead? My detail guy is going to fix a scratch on the back of my 250, and touch up a few minor scratches here and there.

You should ask your detail guy which one he prefers.
