Thank you Penn 4S, my 991.2 is white and the chip on the front bumper is extremely small .I have always been tempted over the years to try this product rather than the normal touch up paint so I think that it is worth a try.

Patience is the key but my experience with Dr Colorchip has been so-so at best. I found that minimizing the rubbing on the touched up chip as much as possible helps. Otherwise I ended up back where I started, a chip with no paint. I can't wipe it down as shown in the videos.

I fixed over 100 chips big and small on my son's car. It looked like if it had been driven on the Paris-Dakar rally... Although maybe not 100% like new, I was absolutely impressed at the extremely high quality and perfect color match. From a couple of feet you would think this is a new car. Every time I saw the commercial I thought that was BS. After having done it myself, I think this is the absolute best way to fix chips short of a full repaint. Just follow the instructions EXACTLY as they say, and you will be happy with the results.

i don't what it is, but my experience w Dr. Colorchip has been extremely disappointing. i think maybe as others have pointed out, with light colors it doesnt show up as well.. next step is to try the AMMO method of putting the paint in the lowe cornell pen to see if that can improve the outcome. otherwise i put it on, wipe off the excess, and it looks the same.

Supposed to a) clean the area before applying the paint, and b) wait until the paint dries before wiping it off with the solvent provided.

I have a white one repaired a chip with the Dr and you would really, really, really have to look to find the repair. I swear by the stuff.

I had a deep chip in the A pillar of my prior agate 991. Dr Colorchip did a good job of making it far less apparent but being fairly deep it took a couple dozen coats applied a little at a time of a period of.a week to fill it in.
I didn't think to take a photo before I started but this was initially down to the metal. The first photo is after the first coat or two. The second is about as good as I could get such a deep chip. At a normal viewing distance it was virtually invisible. The noise in the agate paint probably helped with that.

Continue filling, create a blob that slightly overfills the hole, wet sand the blob down, then polish.

I tried several brand on my 2014 white CS. Some were too white and some were too dark, including Drcolor chip. There’s something about the 2014 white that’s weird- all were the same P color code. Then I came across Touchuppaintdirect.com. They list by make, year and brand. They listed my P white as Cream White. I said what the heck and ordered it. Perfect color match! Take a cardboard match stick( old school) and slice the paper diagonally. Put a little paint on there and apply to scratch. Wait 15 or so minutes and continue until the chip is filled it and polish.
