How about if you do it more than once?

May try that, but it looks like it will take 3 to 5 times to fill it.

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.
"Much less noticeable" is what I am aiming for (perfect for mild/moderate bumper rash). If it doesn't work out, it'll be time to call the pros for a respray and then use that butt-ugly bumper guard when parking on the city streets

This stuff should work well on NON-Metalic paints, like black.

I have some of this stuff. I am going to try it out in the next week, or so. I will report back with results.

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.
