Paint chip repair product

That was I who made that thread. I wondered about the update as well. Thanks for bringing back the topic. :byebye:

Yup, I got mine a while back. Sorry, but I've been working too hard during the week and it's been way too hot here on weekends. Soon, I hope...

So how does it work ?

bump = any word on how well this stuff works?

Would love to see/hear some results on the product

Here's an applicator that sounds interesting.

I posted my results in a thread last week. It works fairly well. It takes a lot of time and practice though to get the result perfectly smooth so that you can't tell there was a touch up. I ended up using it for all the big ones I could, which require a lot of finesse. The little ones wiped up pretty quickly, but my front end is so sandblasted I haven't felt like taking a whole day to get every little nick. I'll post better pics when I get to it, but for 40 bucks it was worth it.

what was the web-site again that you ordered your touch-up from, if you say it is worth it, i think im gonna order some

I touched up my '03 LeMans blue beast today and i was very happy with the results. Most of my chips are tiny road rash on the front of the hood and mirrors. The application was easy with a soft t shirt and the included pre fast liquid and cloth took off all excess paint. I was a little tentative on the first areas so I'll go back over it but quite a big difference and worth the price vs body shop.
Small scratches that one can feel with fingernail also covered up well. I had one deep chip which i just went over 3 or 4 times and it came out smooth. The nice thing about this stuff was there was no blobbing, just paint smooth surface of new paint. I did not take any before shots so I have nothing to show.

I spent just a few minutes with it with Dan's car, and it looks promising...mostly on the *small* stuff.

I believe that year, make, model and color name are sufficient for them to look up the code. At least that's what their website implies. We'll find out in a week or so when mine arrives...
