There is no pearl in the Dr. Colorchip paint. All you get is the base coat. It blends well enough to hide small chips. Only person that will notice it is of course you cuz you know its there. Also of course when you wash and polish it you will notice it. However to the casual observer they will not see it unless they are staring at the front bumper for a while to detect any blemishes.

Gotcha. Why do you say that when I wash and polish it I will notice? Due to no clearcoat?

But what you said is how i figured it would be. The chip is somewhat hard to notice as it is but of course I notice it! ha

I say that because not only do you know where the blemish is but you will be up close and rubbing on the affected area. Also when that close you will notice that there is no pearl. From a few feet away it blends fine but up that close of course you can tell.

I have a PW Z too, and I ordered Dr colorchip to fix a few small chips. It turned out great. Note that for PW it doesnt match 100%, but its close enough, I have to look really hard to find the chipped spots.

Oh, and I suggest just get the smallest kit. It goes a loooooong way
