Dr ColorChip Question
 

Someone scuffed my door with theirs...A**hole

Its pretty minor but its going to drive me crazy, its only about 4x4mm on the drivers side door, and only hurt the clear coat...(if i wet the paint, the blemish disappears for a second and is only noticeable upon drying)

Basically I was wondering if Dr ColorChip will help this?

porter cable will cure that u don't need touch up paint

^^^ this

That would be great, except I dont have one, and I dont really want to fork over $200 for it...yet

I already own the colorchip, i just dont know if it will do much if its not the paint thats acutally chipped, and i dont want to run around throwing paint on the car w.o some foresight.

I've used the OEM 9ml touchup pen and it works very well. Essentially does the same as Dr. Color Chip in a single step (from what I've seen and read, never used Dr. CC myself). You just use the little corner of the felt tip and paint in your chip. I've been working on repeat coats every time I go out to the car to build it up and fill in the chip. I bought the pen that has clear coat on the other end, but I can't figure out a good way to apply that evenly to a small chip...the clear will end up as a blob. Given that fact, I'd suggest buying the touchup paint can that comes with a small fine-tip brush. Cheaper than Dr. Color Chip and seems to get the same finished result judging by what I've read and seen in pics. Just apply thinly and repeat as needed to build it up.

I will say this though: I've never seen a closeup shot of a Dr. Color Chip repair. Can someone who has used Dr CC post a macro shot of their chip after 'fixing' it? I can do the same with my OEM touchup repair for comparison.

I will do this after i fix mine

Bump for pics and additional feedback. :pics:

I hope he didn't use touch up paint to fix that. It would not only be the wrong approach, it will make the blemish look like a 5 year old fixed it.
