Anybody have good results with "Dr. Colorchip"? My friend wasn't too impressed itand went back to the tried (and true) paint wart, followed by 2000 grit wet sanding and polishing out. Always works for me, but time consuming. I'd be interested to hear thoughts, as our local concours expert said you can't beat the results of this old fashioned method.

Send a message via AIM to blinkwatt
Call www.****************************************************.com and order a touch up kit. Perfect paint match,it's all OEM. It comes with a brush for the paint and clear coat. I paid $19 for my Orient Red touch up kit.

I only paid $20 at the dealer, which is the same as online but you aren't paying shipping. I would recommend using a fine point paint brush from a crafts store with the paint, because the included brush is hard to use for hairline type scratches.

I've always wondered how the Dr Colorchip works also. Sounds like a great idea, but call me skeptical.

Another option is to take your paint code to your local parts store (NAPA?) that sells paint and buy a pint or less.

I used the Dr. Colorchip on my 02' S (basalt black) and was really impressed with the results. None of the zit looking paint blobs.
