Default Dr. Colorchip touch up paint

This stuff is amazing. Easy to use and only takes a few minutes. If you have any chips in your paint its worth every penny.

Yes it works better than oem paint that i got from sewell. www.drcolorchip.com is where i purchased it from. First, you clean the area with this cleaner that comes with it. Second, you use one of the 4 brushes included to apply the paint and smear the paint with your thumb. Give the paint a couple of minutes to dry then use the same cleaner as in step one to wipe off the extra paint. That is all you do. I had roughly 20 -30 spots on my hood and bumper. Took me less than an hour and i still have over half the bottle of paint left.

LOOKS LEGIT!!! I have to get this for my car. I got so many rock chips just on my hood. I thought I was going to have to get my front end resprayed. Hey its a cheap price and if it doesn't work then I will get the front end resprayed.

I was going to head over to the dealership to buy some lexus factory touch up paint, but should I get this stuff instead? My detail guy is going to fix a scratch on the back of my 250, and touch up a few minor scratches here and there.

You should ask your detail guy which one he prefers.
