Dr Color chip and a porter cable

tomnavone · 08-04-2010, 01:39 PM

I used dr colorchip the other day and i achieved great results but im curious in the future when i take out my porter cable for some paint correction will it remove the paint from the chips that i hid with dr colorchip?

While running the PC on your paint, the object is to remove paint to create a perfectly smooth surface. Usually the paint you put in to fill a chip will be many many times thicker than the actual paint on the car. Highly unlikely you would actually remove the paint from the chip by using the PC and a polishing pad. I've used touch up paint on many vehicles before and never had a problem with the Flex or a PC.

you should be good to go, as long as it has cured and your not ding something heavy with a lot of pressure. I used touch and also have been able to polish over it just fine.
