I got this for my Mercedes and was not happy at all. It did not fill the chips well and was still noticable. The OEM touch up paint worked much better.

Are the following people still interested? I haven't head anything more on this thread, so I e-mailed the company. Here's their response:


We don't offer more than a 10% price break on group buys of 10 or more kits. We will, however, pass the savings onto the group buy members on the shipping. For every additional member of the group buy, it will only cost about an additional $5 to ship. Once you have a completed number of participants, get us the list and we will get a shipping estimate and will adjust the per person price accordingly. Thank you.

This is not for large chips. It's best used for rock chips on the front bumper.

For large chips, I would use the OEM touch up paint followed by wet sanding.

I dont think it's designed to fill in the chips. I've done some chip work and the main grip is when you fill in the chip, some of it "overflows" the chip and creates a "hill" on the sides. I guess this method prevents the "hill" on either side of the chip?

I'll have to drop... I caved in an bought it last week. I will post a full review once I use it (hopefully this weekend).

By the way, my car is black. I heard it works best on darker colors.

I will be using it on road rash on the front of my hood.

I bought one of these kits for my wife's Vette where she had a couple chips. Everything was perfect with paint match but they should ask the customer when buying their kit what size glove is needed, the one they sent me was for a tiny flupin midget....

I have used this before on my BMW with excellent results. If the chips you are filling are tiny it really works great. There is kind of a trick to it but once you get the hang of it it is pretty amazing on really small chips.

I am going to buy a new kit this weekend--I still have some supplies left over from previous kits so I will just be getting the cheapest one and 4 dollars savings isn't worth waiting for me.

Would this work on "deep" clear coat scratches?

I have an OB coupe. There is a 2" DEEP clear coat scratch. Deep enough that buffing it out doesn't work. But since it just a deep gouge, not sure if the touch up kit would work on this type of scratch.

But I might just give it a try. No feeling the $400 quote I got to repair a clear coat scratch.
