Rock Chip Repair - Pearl White
I have the OEM touch up paint and have tried to use it however it's very thin and doesn't really provide any coverage. It appears to be more of a pearl layer than a base white color.
How do folks on here touch up the Pearl White color? If you use a base white before the OEM paint what color code do you use? Thank you :tiphat: |

+1 for dr.colorchip!
|
+2 for Dr. Colorchip, pricey but it works great.
|
Oh, I've heard about that...
So the Dr. Colorchip stuff really works well? Is it easy to use? |

I tried the dealer touch up on my white Z and the stuff was like skim milk...tried to touch up the area just below where the door closes....on the right angle fold. No luck at all..even with several coats.
.Dr Color Chip was more like heavy glue and really covered it ..did the job very well. Took two coats and so far has not come off Was excellent when I repaired a few spots on the hood.. Only problem i have is that on the front bumper Color Chip seems not to stick to the spot and comes off when I use the clarifying liquid. Maybe it doesnt stick to plastic? Any suggestions? |
Have you tried using some dawn liquid soup or something that will remove all the wax from the surface before trying to touch up the spot? I dunno that might help. White is a hard color to touchup. Good luck with it

the sides of the chip in the bumper seems to be actually raised on the surface..if i run my finger over it it seems that part of it is actually above the rest of the surface,,.,I tried to smooth it out with a very fine pad but could not remove the edges,,I am wondering if that has something to do with causing Color Chip to not stick.. |
Anyone know the color code for the pearl white?
Never mind I found it. QAB Thanks |
dr.Colorchip is a sick product I've used it
|
Ordered it recently will post result on Pearl White
|
I know that I dont have a pearl white, i have the brilliant silver. I was looking in the DR. color chip website and the names of the colors for the 370z athe the names given to the 350z. would it make a difference? I know the Brilliant Silver is different than the Liquid Platinum Silver Metallic. should i just search it by color code?
|
Id use the color code just to make sure. Be a shame to order the wrong color.
|
Anyone have luck getting Dr Color Chip to stick to the bumper? That's where mot of my rock chips are. Can primer be used first?
|
I always wanted to know how to touch up the pearl white as its more involved.
|
dr colorchip works. If you take your time and follow the directions, the results are very nice. I'm pretty sure if I apply some more coats, I can get it close to being flush with the original paint. Our sticks on the bumper too

You can use a non pearl (white) paint for base and then use the OEM paint as a top coat to color match because the pearl paints are transparent and need either a base coat or many layers. The paint code can help you to find out what you need exactly.

Will Dr Color Chip work for this repair? I sort of rubbed the garage when parking a few weeks ago.
Note: I used rubbing compound to get almost all the scuffs off. Just the black areas remain at this point where there is no paint. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...04/ZDamage.jpg |

its not a miracle product. This needs repainting. |
Ouch...I dont think Dr. Colorchip will solve this. It would cost as much in buying enough Dr. Colorchip kits as it would to find a good body shop to repaint it I am thinking.
At least you showed that garage wall/door frame who's boss. :owned: |
