Dr. Colorchip....??

Wonka2581 · 01-29-2013, 04:09 AM

Hey everyone we all know to well that the OEM paint on our cars is a joke.
I am wondering if anyone on here has used the Dr. Colorchip paint repair system and had luck? Also if it really works like they say can you put a clear bra on it after? or can you wax the vehicle without messing up the patch?

I've used it on mine and it worked very well. I had numerous chips on the hood when I bought mine last year, but the good doc really covered them good. I don't have a clear bra, but I have polished and waxed over top and all is good.

same here I have had great results following the instructions and then polishing and waxing over it with no problems.

Same here; Awesome stuff. Deep chips will be colored but still a "crevice" if you will.

I've been wondering about this too.

Might have to try it out once spring rolls around.

Probably not if you keep your car sealed and waxed. Of course if it does you can always apply more Dr. Colorchip.

I have used Dr. Colorchip and it does a far better job than the Nissan touch up paint. As far as deeper chips you need to fill the "crevice" before applying the paint. Try using 3M putty. I have a chip on my front bumper that I need to fix with the 3M putty. Drives me nuts everytime I wash the car.

I would not recommend putting clear bra on it after depending on where the chip is. If it is on the hood I think the clear bra will highlight the imperfection after touch up especially if it is a deep chip.

Another kit that uses 3M putty and probably does just as good of a job if not better is Applied Colors. Next time I have to buy a touch up kit I will give them a try.

Our famous deep scratch repair kit. 1000s sold.

ok cool thanks for the info guys!

Wonka2581 · 01-30-2013, 05:24 AM

Hey I hae a couple of deep spots on my front bumper, do you guys think I should try to use some Bondo spot and chip putty in the deep chips before I use the DR.Colorchip?
