Dr. Colorchip

Has anyone used this? It seems like just the medicine for my black CPO MDX.

I have used it. It works but don't expect 100% correction. Depending on the situation the finished job will probably look like a colored in "pit" on the paint.

Is there any way to fill the pits with the touch up paint they provide similar to OEM touch up paint?

I've heard that you can minimize the pit appearance by going through the application and blending process multiple times. So it might take 4-5 sesssions, but if you're careful you can build up a layer of paint in the chip such that it looks maybe 80% to full correction. I haven't used the product, but I've researched others' experiences with it.

Tried it before, and it worked as advertised. Dr Colochip is a good product though don't expect it can level out deep paint chips.

My kit arrived the other day but I haven't had a chance to test it out. I'll post a review when I get to it.

Can I "pre-fill" deep chips with the touch up paint in the kit or OEM paint, then "top it off" with the kit's color?

Heya. Can you post a update on this? I'm interested in buying the kit.

To be honest, I have the kit but had a fender repainted and didn't have a need to fill in any chips after that. I'm sure the New England winter will fix that by the spring and I'll be sure to update this thread when I have some experience with the kit.

Sorry...
