Dr. Colorchip?

Anyone heard of it, or used it? My '09 has bad road rash on the right side of the front bumper. As I've shown in another thread. I don't have the time at this point to give the car up for a couple days to have it repainted, but I hate the way it looks.

Has anyone used this product? It does sound too good to be true, but there are several good reviews of the product online.

Never heard of it.

Though what I usually do with these "too good to be true products" is type it into google and with "doesn't work"

Some of these have paid reviews to promote the product so you'll be hard to find the negative ones, but heres one I found

Disappointed W/Dr. ColorChip

Thanks for the link. I've read a few like that. Although disappointed, not damning and not the application I plan to use it for.

Mine is really a case of road rash on an obviously poorly repainted front bumper. Nothing is very deep at all.

I may try it. It HAS to look better than what I have already. I'll post a link to my other post in a bit.

I ordered that kit for my last car to fix a bunch of chips on the hood and it did just an okay job. I'm not convinced it worked any better than just buying touch up paint.

Did you buy the road rash kit or just the regular kit?

Kits are all the same they didn't have more or less paint and cleaner.

Ah. Got it. I think I'll try it because the reviews for road rash aren't bad.

Tried a similar product but after several attempts finally gave up.
Others have said it's just a learning curve but for me, decided to go back to slightly lumpy touchup paint. Curious if anyone has had success with it.
