Default Dr Color Chip

Any one have experience using Dr Color Chip for hood/bumper paint chips?

Used it on my BMW LeMans Blue M3. Was not impressed. Looked more purple than blue and could really tell where the touch ups were.

Used it on my silver front bumper, pleasantly surprised. I went in expecting bad results (planning on gt2 bumper at some point soon anyway) but it actually works pretty well. Dont expect it to 'fix' the chips, in my experience it just makes them way less noticeable or virtually invisible from certain distances. Also it takes a little time to get good with the technique but you cant really do any permanent damage with it so..

OK, sounds somewhat promising -- $70 as opposed to a hood repaint at $???...................................

I have tried it after seeing a demo at a trade show. While the color match was pretty much spot on, i struggled with the technique and could not get it to work the way the guy at the show had it working, every time I went to level the paint using the solution that dissolves the paint, it basically removed everything

It's not a respray but it makes issues less of an eye sore. Used on M3 and Turbo. It was worth the money to me both times.
