Car Paint Touch Up
Tips from the Expert!

Old School Touch-up Paint

Most people have either seen or used this form of car paint touch up. Available at most auto dealerships, these forms of touch up car paint applicators still remain as a solution. But depending on the type of scratch or chip you are dealing with, other forms of repairs might be a better option for you. For anyone looking to cut to the chase and find a solution, can shop from one of many car paint chip and scratch repair options in the right hand column.

Car Paint Chip Repair

Assaults on the road come in many shapes and forms. Rock chips are a problem for any car that is driven on public roads. And any car driven consistently at freeway speeds will suffer from the dreaded "road rash" effect that is common to most cars. Until recently, the only option was to laboriously drop, or place, drops of car touch-up paint into each and every paint chip. Even though the end result is a much improved front end, for most people, this becomes unrealistic; after a few minutes, most give up and choose to live with the remaining chips. One of my favorite solutions for the dreaded "road rash" effect is the Dr. Colorchip kit of repair.

The Better Alternative

The Dr. Colorchip Road Rash Paint Chip Repair Kit method produces superior results to the dreaded bird-poop blobs that are common when using he traditional car paint touch up applicators. It can also be done in a much shorter time. The kit is also a good solution to those types of car paint scratches that cannot be removed with wet sanding or polish. These types of deep and wider scratches can be filled in with the Dr. Colorchip solution.

As seen above, the before and after shots of this type of car paint touch up repair is dramatic. Fixing these kinds of "details" on a car adds to the overall beauty and value of your car. This kit is also useful for the car paint chips that are also common just behind each wheel, where rocks and gravel get kicked up from the road.
