Paint Chip Repair Kit
I used mine yesterday. I was not impressed. Paint matched fairly well, technique was easy to use, HOWEVER, it DID NOT fill the paint chip level with the surrounding paint. It covered just fine, and the chips are MUCH less noticeable than before, but the repair does NOT "disappear".
One more thing, it does NOT work well when the chip is all the way to the bare metal and there is minor rusting on the surface. Too much of the paint is removed when you "smear" it.

It is similar to the Dr. Colorchip product, but it uses the factory touch-up paint (which I feel better about using). You basically apply the factory touch-up paint, which will leave a small "blob" of paint, and let it dry. It comes with a small plastic scraper and solution that remove the blob of touch-up paint, but leaves the paint in the chip or scratch. It had pretty good reviews from those that used it. In the end it costs about the same as other similar products. It is $30-40, and the factory touch-up paint is about $12 from the dealer.
I hope to have (good) results soon....
+1! My front bumper is filled with rock chips and was thinking about trying one of these babies out before I end up re-painting the entire bumper.
A fellow G35 driving friend here at work bought the same kit and he has yet to try it out.
I offered him $5- for it LOL... he didn't take the offer.
It's better than it just sitting on a shelf not being used, right?

If you have metallic paint, my advice is not to use the Dr. Colorchip (unless it's a tiny chip). It will stand out and will look worse than if you hadn't done anything. Just cough up some and take it to a pro.
