Anyone used Dr. ColorChip?
Well, I'm looking to repair my stone chips. I'm reading around, trying to decide whether I should have it done professionally or whether I should do it myself.
I came across Dr. ColorChip which seems to work well and is not that expensive.
Any thoughts?

Stupid me, it Dr.ColorChip and not Mr.
Anyway, the website is http://drcolorchip.com/ . Looks like a pretty good system that is easy to use as well. I called them yesterday to inquire if the chemical, the second step, will harm the clear coat. I was told that it is totally safe.
Will probably get it. I have touched up three of my four stone chips but it came out like crap. I want to try and tape the area and sand the blob down and bit. It could be that the touch up paint will be fine once I sand it down and it becomes smoother.

First, I want to sand down my existing touch up attempts and see how that looks. If I'm still not happy then I'll be the first one to try Dr.ColorChip - why not.

I have used one of those compounds that they use at Chrysler to remove scratches at the assemply level. Maybe I didn't rub long/hard enough as it didn't seem to help.
Will probably order Mr.ColorChip and try it next. The problem, that my chips are filled in already. When I come back from my vacation, I will be looking into clear bra - probably just the hood, fenders, and side mirrors.
I've heard that people do headlights too.

Actually, I've used this on my old White 2006 Civic Si to fix a couple of paint chips that I got from some kids that egged my car.
I have to say it worked amazing well. I took a couple applications of it, but it worked well and took less than an hour, from start to finish.
