Before & After pics of paint chip repairs using Langka or Mother`s equivalent?

[viper_chan]

Does anyone have any before and after pics of paint chip repairs using Langka or Mothers equivalent (CALIFORNIA GOLD® PAINT CHIP REPAIR)?

[viper_chan]

Nobody has ever taken before & after pics of their stone chip repairs?? :confused:

Great inquiry viper. It would be interesting to see the before and after of some of the different techniques that have been mentioned here. I would rather see it from users on this board then the ones provided by various companies.

I have pics, but they are for my next book "The Perfect Shine". I will think about releasing some of the photos.

It`s good to hear that others are interested in what can be accomplished by other autopians w/ this Langka product...



Here are a couple pics straight from the Langka.com site.





The following pictures are taken with a Canon FTb SLR 35mm camera under overcast skylight with 200 iso speed film.

I`m no forensic FBI guy but look very carefully at the photos. Start at the far left photo "before, notice the light specs, and the light on the seam, then look at the same on the center, and then the right. The pics have been munipulated in photoshop. Just interesting, that`s all. Funny.

Here`s a rendering of my experience with Langka, which either pulled all the paint back outta the chip (unless I waited a few days to use it) and then managed to so dull the touchup paint that an abrasive and SMR were required to restore lustre. IMO the "old-fashioned" way of building thin coats w/a toothpick is less frustrating and less time consuming. YMMV of course.

I don`t know if anybody else has tried this but I have, and it works for me.



Clean the area with spirits.



I take the touchup paint and fill the chip so that it is a highspot.



Wait for paint to get semi hard.



Take a razor blade and very, very carefully follow the contour of the surface over the chip to even out area painted.

I think he was saying, "This is a photoshopped representation of what happened to me"



IE, it didn`t work good. THe lengka removed all the touchup paint he applied, or it dulled the paint.
