be our guinea pig, I remember someone using a product similar to this and it not coming out 100% because our paints have allot of glitter and what not in it.

Default pics here!

ok the first 4 pics are the dr colorchip pix. after that its jus pics of my car. i did it this mornin only on my front bumper cuz i had 2 go to work in 1 hr. but i still have plenty left for the side doors. it was so ez. i wouldnt give it a 5 out of 5. more like 4 out of 5. obviously itz not gana b back to perfect condition but it cleared up the scratches drastically. previous owner did not take care of car. if u guys demand it ill post more pics. thanks 4 waiting!

You have any chips on your side mirrors? have you tried the repair on them? I have some horrible chips in mine wondering if it will work on them.

yea. but the marks on my mirror are black n they arent chips. they r like 1 inch long black marks from hitting other ppls mirrors. i did it once. but i gues the previous owner did it a few times 2. i try to fit in tight spots alot....

drcolorchip was only 40 bucks. good investment. so far its been about 3 days. still looks good
