My 2014 Honda Civic Si already has some paint chips on it, so I bought Dr. ColorChip in hopes of fixing them or making them look better. I had a medium sized one on the passenger side fender and a small, medium, and large one on the hood.
Here`s what I started with:
Color matched paint. Paint color is Orange Fire Pearl and the match was pretty much 100%:
Dabbed, then spread:
Removed with SealAct:
I then repeated the process hoping for a more level result and this was the best I could get:
And here are the ones on my hood with the smallest now nearly impossible to see:
From a normal viewing distance:
Also got all the salt off of it today with a rinseless wash performed before the Dr. ColorChip process. All chips were cleaned with IPA.
Overall, it is an idiot proof way to minimize your paint chips, but I feel as if using traditional touch up paint, wet sanding, and then polishing would yield a more level result. It seems like no matter how many times you repeat the process, the Dr. ColorChip paint won`t build up on itself to eventually level out with the original finish.
