Will dr colorchip work on already touched up paint?

kittens · 01-13-2014, 02:19 PM

Just curious. I read highly positive reviews on this site about dr colorchip. I have some pretty bad rash on my front from hitting a wall at like 3 mph months ago. I touched it up with factory nissan paint. It looks better but will dr colorchip improve on this or is what is done, done?

I also have a scratch that I haven't tried to touch up yet about 8 inches long. Thanks

Yeah that's what I thought , not going to pay for a respray/new bumper anyway so I guess I won't have to worry about more rock chips lol

Don't waste your money on the dr. colorchip...it was a pain in the *** to use. I purchased the squeegee package to fix the hundred of rock chips on my front bumper. First off the paint dries way too fast...1-2 swipes and it is dried and can't get even coverage. When you use their solution to wipe off the excess paint, it pretty much instantly removes the color coat leaving the metallic flakes.

I vote for good prep and respray with automotivetouchup.com paint.
