Finding a new Rock Chip on your vehicles paintwork can be SERIOUS eyesore. And while you may stare at it for hours, it won’t go away on it’s own. So today, I show you how to repair those unsightly paint chips to make it look like it (almost) never happened. Let’s get started!
Stone chips, rock chips, paint chips, etc is a part of everyday driving but can easily ruin someone’s day. The gut reaction is to go to your local auto parts store and try a paint touch up pen right? The reality is, those little pens rarely work if not make the chips MORE noticeable. The idea behind Professional paint chip repair is to make it unseen or substantially less noticeable with a permanent fix. Well, and also to prevent future rust issues from happening too! I started using the Dr. Colorchip system because I wanted an EXACT color match on my car with the ease of use with the system. 5 years ago, I sucked at it. Seriously. But fast forward to today, and I do these repairs professionally on the side.
Paint chips on car paint comes in various forms and sizes. The smaller the chip, the easier the repair is. Because we don’t need a primer, or clear coat with this system, it’s just a matter of preparing the surface to have this filled chip last a lifetime. While yes, you can go through the process of using real car paint, adding clear coat, sanding, polishing etc, I’ve personally had more of THOSE repairs fail in comparison to the Dr. Colorchip system. The longest running filled chip I have is going on 7 years. Following these steps, you may save yourself from spending $$$ on a chip that can be fixed for $50.
Hopefully this info and product system is helpful on fixing up your car, and don’t let the paint chips get the best of you. This is the way.

Hey thanks for this. I’ve got a question for you: So I’ve got an or so long, narrow chip/scrape on the edge of my hood from badly installed windshield wipers. Is this kit a good option for patching that up?
im scared that if i buy one of these kits it wont match as well as the car because the car has been in the sun sense amlost 2000 on and off and its white…
wait, so how come the solvent doesn't get rid of the paint that's in the chip? what is this magic? i figured maybe it's because the paint bonds with the metal and it removes everything else. but you said you can layer on more layers.
Really good job I going to sort out the chip on my bonnet of my mokka and your advice brilliant 👍🇬🇧
That was a very good job and it looks great thanks so much
Is it avaliable for other countries?
My repair paints are color matched. But, it's a two-tone metallic red in two bottles. Not sure if I apply the base metallic red and then the clear red. Or, mix the two then apply???
What is the other solution used at 10:25? to remove excessive paint ?
Didn't have the greatest results from my first go. Previous owner backed up into something with 2 prongs so a good chunk of metal is missing from the 2 chips. Gonna give it another go tomorrow, having a hard time getting the paint to fill in evenly
Have you ever tried to use some filler to fill the dents first? Can you buy a clear coat in this system?
