I also have had great luck with Dr. Colorchip on fine roadrash. A product that may work better for larger chips might be the Langka product. I have not tried it yet, but will next time I do touchup.

I also used Dr. Colorchip on a GR car and will echo the comments. Works great on small spots, but anything with any size to it not so much.

How does the clear figure in to the methods described above or with Lanka?

Honestly, I rarely use the the clear, it's such a small area. But, to be ideal I suppose you would want to fill in the divot below the paint level, then use the clear to hopefully end up flush.

Touch up paint

Was going to try this on my son's Subaru after a mishap in the high school parking lot. Looks like they have all the products needed - sandpaper, solvent, primer, color and clear.
