I've not used Sewell, but Dr Color Chip has always worked great for me - last car I turned in I was accused of having had it repainted! http://www.drcolorchip.com/

the sewell one should fine good, its OEM paint from Lexus. However, I would be very careful with touch up paint. Never use the brush that it comes with. Usually its like the ones found in nail polish, and usually that brush is way too big and holds too much paint. When you get it, use a tooth pick to slowly dab paint on the area.

Great idea RXSF. I have been reluctant to use the touch up paint due to the facts you just mentioned. I will definately try the toothpick.

I used Langka. http://www.langka.com/complete-paint...53a69009b29e90 Had a auto detailer inspect it, and he said "very nice job". The process does take time, be patient and it will turn out great.
