Thanks for the info! It looks really good for what it is. I have some rock chips I plan to fill in with BMW's version of Dr. Colorchip soon. I bought one of those tiny droppers like here (jump to 4:08):
I've seen that video before. I think I'm going to order one of those pens. It must be an older video because the one he used isn't just 10 bucks, it's 45 on amazon.
I'm ire it'll work great but for road rash, DrC offers a beveled squeegee to spread it into a lot of chips in one motion.

Good info. I recall Dane saying that a paint guy told him that it makes it tougher to paint over?

The DrColorchip? Its possible since (from what I can gather) it isn't the same formula as regular paint. But I would think if you're getting a panel painted, like a hood, you'd end up having the paint sanded off so you'd wouldn't be paining over it.
Sidenote: I actually wanted to give DrC an honest chance before getting the hood repainted so that I could say the paint is all original in the event I decide to sell it down the road lol
I never had the patience to do all the chips on my hood with DrColorchip but I have used the product pretty successfully on 2 separate occasions by focusing on the main big ones that are down to the base paint, or worse, the metal. The paint match is top notch and it really fills the hole. It takes enormous patience to let the paint dry and then "shave" the excess of paint off the edge of the hole. After several (in some cases it was over 5 applications per chip) applications, the results are phenomenal. Almost as good as new.
As long as you don't have metal paint (metal flakes in your paint) then I think the video above with the really cool paint applicator would work. On metal flake paint, this does not work as you are constantly forced to shake the paint before re-dipping the brush into the paint vial.
Good luck guys. And Joe, you named your car by my name although on the forum people call me Olie. I am really Olivier and my wife call me Olive. Each time your thread pops up, I do a double take.
