Well about a month ago I got caught in a hail storm and afterwards a torrential rain storm. While moving the Z away from the area I was in to get to cover in case another session of hail happend I suspect is when a rock was thrown into the front end of the car. The Z survived the hail without any visible damage which was a relief but the next day while investigating the damage I did notice a big rock chip on the driver side front bumper right in front of the wheel well. I decided to order the Dr. Colorchip kit instead of the crappy paint bottle the dealer will sale you for the same price. Well today after washing the car I had enough time after to try my hand at using this stuff for the first time. My impression is that it does a great job compared to the dealer stuff. Only issue with it being Pearl White is that its a Tri-coat or 3-stage color. Base coat, mid coat (pearl), and then clear-coated. The Dr. Colorchip kit comes with what is essentially just the base coat which they call off-white to blend in with the pearl coat finish. I think I will need to apply another coat to get it close to perfect as its going to get being touched up. All in all I am happy and recommend anyone else trying to repair a chip or scratch to use this.
