I was an early adopter of this product on my Mica black metallic Mazdaspeed 3. This product works, when finished, you basically had to know where the chip was before and look at it real close in the right light to see where the chip was. The repair seemed tougher than the original paint and I never had a chip appear again in the same spot. I now purchase a kit for every car I own.

[@FastMonty]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment, I love it too!

[@HeliRy]

Pretty good result on a dark colour like that! I’ll probably get some for my white vehicle and it’s rock chips. Should be much easier to make those vanish.

[@FastMonty]

It'll work even better on a white car... might need a few coats, take your time, have fun!

[@BigDawgBlevens]

Awesome video man, great demonstration on how to use the product. I have a couple of paint chips on my car that I would like to fix, but I have a layer of ceramic coat covering my paint. Will that be a problem when applying the product??

[@FastMonty]

Thanks for the comment... yeah, I suspect the ceramic coating might be an issue. But, there's nothing wrong with trying it anyway. If it doesn't stick, you'll have to polish the area to remove the ceramic, and try again. Let us know how it goes!

[@jf3180]

Same, I have a Modesta bc4 layer and it doesn’t seem to be as effective, but I’m going to just keep applying some more layers

[@FastMonty]

Agreed... be patient between coats, it should build up. Let us know! @@jf3180

[@justanobserver530]

Wish I knew this before. I had my favorite body shop mix me a little bottle of paint and those spots that I touched up look better than the chip but still look like crap to me

[@FastMonty]

It's never too late... ha, ha... Thanks for the comment!

[@firebird5288]

Thank you! I'll be getting this kit for my 98 W68 Firebird.

[@FastMonty]

Awesome! It works great, just be patient... have fun!

I am curious do you go into detail on how you keep your car clean? Mine will be getting painted here soon(black) and i am wondering what you do or your process to keep your car clean, also not put any marks in the clear coat during cleaning etc. do any of your videos cover that or do you have some tips on what you do. I know this color will show dust alone just being parked in the garage over night. Wash, wax, spray detailer???? Thanks for any help.

[@FastMonty]

Good question... lot's of methods out there. I currently love Ceramic Coating, with a complementary ceramic waterless detailer. Check out the Avalon King products, in my playlist, here kzbin.info/aero/PL0VCtZe2W6eb-TdHI1TktbWesxa4inRWw&si=0K5kgpvpLItU39gX (By the way, you probably have to wait a few months to let the clear coat fully cure out.) Have fun!

[@dailwhite7153]

good video , wondered what your color is? i have a 67 mustang painted with a GM color which looks like yours...need the code. it may be Dark Polo Green Metalic? would help me out thanks

[@FastMonty]

Thanks! It's not a GM color... it's a Jeep Grand Cherokee color Black Forest Green Pearl Sorry, probably won't match your GM color, maybe it's Midnight Green?

[@johnmilner7603]

I had a spray can made up with my paint code from Napa. I spray into a rattle can lid, apply paint to the chip using a fine artist paint brush, then when dry, I use a binder hole punch and punch out the grit of sandpaper I need and also punch out 2 way tape. Then using the eraser end of a pencil, I stick the tape on it then the sandpaper then wet sand the touch up in a circular motion cause it’s so small. Then buff with compound and wax.

[@FastMonty]

Thanks John... love the ingenuity! I'd imagine that most of us aren't comfortable with color sanding, so Dr ColorChip is definitely the work around to your near perfect solution. Awesome comment, thanks!

[@mneeley7496]

Does it need a clear coat?

[@mikemontanari]

@@mneeley7496 no, it's supposedly a custom formulation that mimics it. Strange, but works.

[@Danno74Z]

Hi Monty, You mentioned in previous videos you painted your GTO in your home garage. By chance do you have any videos of the process you went through? Old paint removal, primer, body work etc. Thanks

[@FastMonty]

Sorry brother, unfortunately I started my KZbin career after the car was finished. Eastwood has some great tutorials on body work, etc... It's a ton of work, but very rewarding when done.

[@1stblackmanonthenet]

Hi Monty, you have been so helpful. Excellent Video! My question is on my side front bumper I have a small scrape. I already attempted some non-factory touch up paint and it looks horrible. Can I use this kit on that area too, or is it just for rock chips? Thanks in advance!

[@FastMonty]

Great question... I honestly don't know. Might be worth a shot, as your last resort. Otherwise, you might have to sand it down and repaint. Let us know if this works for a scrape!

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

can we put a dab of clear coat over the newly repaired paint chip?

[@FastMonty]

Good question... it's not recommended, BUT, in theory, you could try it after the divot dries. Add clear, so it's higher than the surrounding, then sand it/polish it flush. OR, just add more layers of Dr. Color Chip, until it's level, and you can't tell it's there. Let us know if you get the Clear trick to work.

[@sandkeyfred]

Will this procedure fill in two small dings as well as the chips with several applications?

[@FastMonty]

Probably not good to use on the dings... I believe this stuff needs a "hard edge" to rest against. Good luck!

[@briankirby1320]

Love the channel. Any chance you can put together a series of when you painted your car?

[@FastMonty]

Thanks Brian... If and only if, I have to paint something. As you can imagine it's extremely time consuming, let alone trying to video it. If you're in a dire need to learn. Google Kevin Tetz. I learned from his "PaintUcation" program. See ya soon!

[@chenglo8999]

My car has ceramic coating around chipped area. Ofcourse chips no longer have coating. Would this still work? Im guessing new paint and sealact will just not stick to ceramic coated areas but WOuld adhere to chipped area. Thoughts?

[@FastMonty]

Yeah, I agree with that theory. Worth a shot!

[@kingbotzcustoms]

Is it critical that you use the paint they send you, or can you use the dealer touch-up paint & aftermarket touch-up paints as well? Thanks!!

[@FastMonty]

Great question... I don't know the formulation, but, I'd be willing to bet there's some sort of proprietary mix of pain in their kit. To be safe, I'd use what's in the kit. If you find out otherwise, let us know! Thanks for the comment.

[@kingbotzcustoms]

@@FastMonty It is proprietary indeed, I just heard back directly from them on this, here's what they said: "The SealAct blending solution is a proprietary product developed to work with our paint only. It will not work with regular touch-up paint. Best results are achieved using our touch-up paint and SealAct blending solution as directed in the repair kit instructions." 😎

[@FastMonty]

@@kingbotzcustoms HA! Settles that. Thanks for finding out!

[@carbonoxx]

that could be something they made out to sell more expensive touch up....@@kingbotzcustoms

[@stephencorbo9164]

Can you use this product as well as the prep cleaner if there is a ceramic coating on the car?

[@FastMonty]

Good question... Ideally, no. If you have any ceramic or wax INSIDE the chip, the paint won't adhere to it. If it were me, and ceramic was inside the chip, I'd try it anyway. I honestly don't know how you'd remove the ceramic, from a hole/chip. As the only way to remove ceramic from the paint surface is to polish it off. Let us know how it goes!

[@frekkledipped]

I have 2 large chips about the size of a nickel and deep on the end of the door & quarter panel, right on the edge. So how the heck would you do that? I guess I would have to build some sort of dam? Piece of tape maybe, I dont know never done it before. I have the paint, its old style no clear coat. Came with the car

[@FastMonty]

Yeah, that's a large chip alright. The proper way to fix that is to sand and paint the entire panel... which would really mean paint the entire car. I know you don't want to do that. So, plan B would be to fill those chips with paint... which will be several coats. You'd have to fill it enough so the chipped area is higher than the surrounding paint. After that cures, you now have to wet sand it down to level. Then cut/buff/polish. Yes, it's a pain the ass... but, that's what I'd do. Hope that gives you some ideas.

[@dtna]

I apply 4+ THIN coats. No problem.

[@FastMonty]

Nice! Agreed.

[@nukeelda]

Tnx I will buy it .

[@FastMonty]

It totally works. Be patient with it. Have fun!

[@willyuan1]

after each coat do i need to use isopropyl alcohol again to clean the spot? or just in the beginning?

[@FastMonty]

Good question... just before the first application. Have fun!

[@willyuan1]

@@FastMonty i’ve filled in a big chip nearly 90% now but the remaining chip the paint keeps pulling out whenever i use the sealant. any advice to completely fill it in?

[@FastMonty]

@@willyuan1 Maybe try and wait longer between coats so the prior quote dries thoroughly?

[@willyuan1]

@@FastMonty good point the longest i’ve waited was 15 minutes but usually just 5 min

[@FastMonty]

@@willyuan1 Yeah, it depends on the thickness, nothing wrong with waiting even longer.

I thought I saw the guy from the company use the other side. Just trying to be helpful. 👍🏻

Thought your color was 2am green 😂

[@johnkennedy8452]

Pretty cool product , I had a hard time trying to find the chip after you buffed it. 👍

[@FastMonty]

Dude! I should've totally said that... and let people try and google it. Thanks John!

[@FastMonty]

@@johnkennedy8452 Thanks John, I had a hard time too... ha, ha... now the painful process of polishing the entire car. Thanks again!

[@johnkennedy8452]

That paint is like a mirror 🪞 should be fun to polish..!!!😂🏁

[@FastMonty]

@@johnkennedy8452 Ohhh, a freakin joy. :)

[@secretm.5896]

Omg no need for this kit; just take touch up paint, put a bit on your fingertip, rub it all over the chip, let it dry 3-5 minutes and then use a rotary and buffing compound on it. Finish with finishing compound and wax.

[@FastMonty]

Thanks... that sounds like a way longer process, but a great idea for single stage paint. I like this stuff for 2 stage (clear coat).

[@secretm.5896]

@@FastMonty well the process I talk about takes around 20 min, not super long tbh. Interesting tho for the mentioned 2 stage yes!

[@MReiterRealtor]

i think you used wrong side of the sqeegee.

[@FastMonty]

Ha! Nope. You use the beveled edge. Thanks!

[@stevek758]

wiping technique is trash. Been around 20 years with Airbrush. not impressed sorry

[@FastMonty]

Sorry you feel that way... those are the instructions, and it works. Thanks.

[@trustenbaker8766]

So it works just not that well....aright...!

[@FastMonty]

It works well, and can be used several times, if it's a deep chip. Thanks.
