Do they make it in 5 gallon pail size? That's what I would need for my pos cars haha

No before and after pics?? Post em up!

in for the pre and post pictures

I didn't take any pictures. Imagine this though, a car with rock chips (black dots on a white car), then a car without chips (no black dots on a white car)!



No gross paint blobs either like you'd get from a typical touch-up brush. If you use the squeegee right, the touch-up will be barely visible since its level and fills the chip in completely.

Hopefully Pat gets some pictures for you guys since he seems to enjoy photography.

They advertise the $65 kit as including enough paint to fill hundreds of chips and I'd believe it; after using my kit twice the bottle is still nearly full.

I'll get you guys pictures and video possibly when I get my kit in. Might be better than the ol' potato camera phone.

I got another bottle of the chip repair paint ordered. The white still seems fine from last year, but I wanted to also get it in Carbon Flash to repair the inevitable chips the splitter and sideskirts are going to get (yup, they already have a few). They warn that the metallic and pearl paints won't match as perfectly as solid colors, but it looks pretty dang close to me. Speaking of pearl, if I ever get the Volt back from the bodyshop I'll have to get a bottle ordered for that car too...

Hey-zoos you still don't have that thing back?

[Kracka]

Nope, been over 2 months now. It was hit in late-February.

I did the Corvette again today and continue to be impressed with this kit! I did white on the front bumper, a mirror, and a rocker. I then did the black carbon flash metallic on the sideskirt and front splitter and everything turned out great; matched perfectly. I might give it a try on the Volt tomorrow morning.

I got the Volt done yesterday and am satisfied, but as they said, the tri-coat pearl won't be a perfect match with a single stage touch-up. It's "close enough" and definitely a whole lot better than a bare metal or primer rock chip! It's close enough that the small stone chips on the front bumper have basically become invisible.

Which kit do you use? The squeegee kit or just the standard brush and wipe off kit?

[Kracka]

The Squirt N Squeegee kit is what I bought for the 'Vette, then for the Volt I just bought the little bottle of refill paint to use with the kit I already had. They claim the paint has a shelf life of 1 year, but my Corvette white bottle is 1 1/2 years old now and still worked fine.
