Dr. Colorchip reviews?
Have any of you guys used the Dr.Colorchip product on your car? Especially Starfire Pearl?
I've seen the lexus brand touch up paint for the Starfire and it didn't match at all

i have an USB F and have used the Dr. Colorchip product....
Impressions: it's not as "magical" as the commercials have you believe, but I do think it is superior to standard touch up paint results. The main reason I feel it's better is that when you apply the paint and then use the other portion of the product to remove the glob of paint you put on, you end up with a flush or lower than flush result vs a blob of paint that sticks above the orig paints surface... (making the fix less noticable) It is difficult IMHO to know when to stop removing the paint as sometimes you have to "redo" as you remove all the paint and chip is still visible...

I used this product on my old SFP IS350 just like Erdoc said it's not magic fix for the average guy it maybe easier to use than standard touch up paint. The color match is very good, it will not fix deep chips that go down to base paint but will work OK on lighter chips it will take several application over effected area slowing building up Dr Chip product to produce the desired effect. This product helps camouflage light chips so from a distance they very difficult to see but once you get within few feet you can still that there was chip but its been colored in, so for light chips its OK for deep chips will help to disguise them until you get up close. So if your looking for perfect fixes then bring to body shop if you just want camouflage chips and less visual impact of chips then not a bad product to use.

Dr. Color chip is better then the stock touch up paint for sure. It is not nearly as runny however, dont expect miracles like it shows on tv. You will still notice it. But for the money not bad.
