I'm picking up the kit to use it with the Porsche touch up paint. I can't wait to see the results.
John,

I have used the Langka System on my Guards Red Boxster. I was frankly underwhelmed with the results and reverted back to the Tried and True method of multiple applications of Touch-Up paint with a Toothpick to fill the chip and then a light Wet Sanding using some 1200 Grit Paper pasted onto a Pencil Eraser followed by some polish to remove the Proud surface. This is really the only way to get a seamless, invisible repair.

With the Langka, the difficulty is getting to the repair at a specific point in the Curing Process, which varies considerably with Temp and Humidity. Wait too long, and you'll never remove the excess without some Wet Sanding. Begin too soon and you rub all the paint out of the Chip. It's just not all that fool-proof. And, I'm not certain it likes the Lacquer Paint which Porsche uses (I used Genuine Porsche Touch-Up), the paint seemed somewhat immune to it.

Go ahead if you wish, maybe there is a chemical difference between Your and My paint colors. I hope you have a better time of it than I did...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
