How To Fix Rock Chips On Your Car With Dr. ColorChip!

[@BALL_BUZZ]

This the only video I've seen actually do it right.

[@rollthers3157]

Finally! A video that shows satisfying results.

[@bobjones6897]

The other videos I've watched stopped with 2 coats. I like that you stuck with it until the chip was gone.

[@3mautospallc]

Right on, thanks for the great advice after 6 layers I can’t even find it and using the squeeze definitely helped. looking forward to use this product on a customer vehicle this weekend, once again thanks for the clear instructions.

[@narutobroken]

When you layer it, do you use the SealAct every time or do you just keep putting the paint in till it’s built up then use the SealAct?

[@GulfShoresVacationGuide]

Thanks for this video! I knew I wanted to use Dr. Colorchip, but I really needed a good demo by someone who has used it. I just bought a 2011 Camaro 2SS (black) that only has 36K miles on it - but more than a few rock chips. I feel like I know exactly what to do and expect now. Cheers!

[@jorgepons3786]

Bought the product based on this video great informative and straight to the point. Well done

[@BenvolioG18]

Awesome demonstration on this product. My 2023 Mach 1 has been getting hammered by rocks here in TX (I need PPF!) so I've been trying to patch these spots as they arise. The Ford paint pens are alright, but leveling that paint out with sand paper is nerve-wracking, this method seems way easier. Went ahead and bought myself a kit; excited to see the results in person!

[@zflowski9831]

How was it

[@pikapika1449]

How was it?

[@2Shine55]

Dr. Color Chip for the win! I've used this product and its straight fire!!!

[@giorgosc4298]

Hello,nice video.Is this the exctly same colour of the car???What if the colour is different and have to fix it your self???

[@gns942]

Thanks for showing me that trick with the squeegee and the dab of paint. I just now ordered a set of silicone squeegees (4 pack with different hardness levels) and I'm going to fix a dealer-installed paint chip in my rear bumper with this method of gradually building up layers of paint with consecutive swipes of the squeegee. How long do you let it dry between the coats?

[@bartholomewst.juniorstein8814]

Here i thought i was gonna have a hard time.. stuff looks incredible. Ordered mine already.

[@Supremepikachu]

Did the finger wipe method and it's legit the best to fill it up and eventually hide them.

[@Zanooz]

Awesome, I was looking for a product to seal and fix the rock chips before wrapping my car, this stuff looks amazing! Ordered

[@Wind_slash0]

I should've just used this kit from the beginning on my gr corolla cause i ended up ordering a kit anyway

[@TheMosinCrate]

Thanks for the video.

[@roberte2936]

Wondering the same

[@apexfien]

This video is perfect direction, fan of DrC already but these tips make easier to get right

[@babajungLA]

Hey thanks for sharing, how many passes did you need to fill in the chip on the hood? How much pressure did you apply when filling in the chip with paint? and how long did you wait before you used SealAct on the paint? And finally how long did you wait between various applications/passes? Thanks!

[@johnmaginnis]

The stuff really is bomb. If you put some paint on your rubber glove finger you can dab like 10 spots before your finger dries. When you go to remove it wrap a credit card in a really thin t-shirt and you won't pull the paint out of the hole.

[@JayP-vh9wc]

Thanks for the Video! Just one question: Did the paint fully dry in between each coat? Just wondering how the excess is removed so easily at the end? Thanks again!

[@ThicGarage]

The SealAct removes access and blends the color

[@JayP-vh9wc]

@@ThicGarage ok thanks!

[@wishawlad3635]

Too many people who use these kits only to 1 to 3 coats and then complain. This is the correct way if you want a good result. Time, patience and multiple coats even if ita 6 or 7 times. No quick fix for these

[@Mikeyp1054]

Good job!

[@anthonycastellano6017]

how long before each pass did you wait ?

[@k3n12ock]

I've had my car for 1 month and it has chips in it already so I'm definitely ordering now.

[@nageily]

This is helpful!

[@danap2766]

Found your demo to be the most interesting and informative so far, admittedly in part because my car is metallic silver. I haven't yet found one that demonstrated a successful chip repair on a vertical surface. Must ask-did you use the Sealact between each layer you did on that beautiful hood repair? Would've loved seeing the technique used on the front bumper. My hood is sculpted (S550 Mustang) and the chip is on the side of one "spear".

[@ThicGarage]

Thank you for the kind words. On the hood we did apply two coats using the sealact in between. After we saw the chip was too deep, we decided to apply 6 coats allowing 15 min to dry between coats. Once level we used the sealact to blend the area. Product takes trial and error but does work great once you apply the appropriate amount of color letter deeper chips more time to dry. I don’t recommend using sealact between coats on deep chips. The smear technique is more for road rash areas where you smear and allow a few minutes before using the sealact

[@danap2766]

@@ThicGarage , thanks! Luckily, almost no road rash, and the couple tiny ones I have I'll do the smear. For the two bigger ones, I'll take your advice and build up light layers.

[@babajungLA]

@@ThicGarage Awesome! thanks for the response. I was wondering the same thing but this answers it. Very informative video and response.

[@johndoubleu3996]

Could you use any other car paint ?

[@tiborhorvath1702]

Good job!! Looks really nice!!

[@Gabeyboy1]

QUESTION!! Is the paint they give you water based or oil based solvent? I’ve read you cannot do a good easy touch up with the typical water based paint.

[@Aaron72772]

When you said you did 6 coats was that 6 coats of paint or seal?

[@ThicGarage]

Paint

[@Aaron72772]

@ thank you

[@7yrsbadluck]

How much time did you wait between coats? And can you speed it up by using a heat gun?

[@PatsGarageOnline]

Looks amazing. That did a great job!

Amazing! I will try on my car. Thanks for sharing!

[@Handleyman]

Now THAT’S IMPRESSIVE!

[@cdchannel]

Can you reuse the white towel for the Sealact in the future or are you supposed to wash it after every use?

[@ThicGarage]

I rinse ours out and let air dry to reuse next time.

[@michaelkrautz935]

How much time are y’all taking inbetwen coats?

[@dwaynebodzenta7994]

nice video. did a great job. Listen two questions? Which kit is the one to buy from Dr Color chip ? Did you let the paint dry before using the other application?

[@mkong3]

For a large and deep paint chip, would you suggest using the squeegee or just applying with a paint brush/finger? A car parked beside me swung their door open and the chip has reached the metal!

[@ThicGarage]

I would start with the brush filling the chip with multiple coats and then use the squeegee for on last coat or two

[@mkong3]

Thanks for the tip. I just got the kit and applied the first layer. I'm stumped as to how I can clean the brushes or squeegee? Traditional soap and water don't seem to work.

[@Mysticchrome04cobra]

Is the paint mixed w clear or does clear ever get applied to help match oemmfinish

[@balkee42]

Will the sealact stuff mess up a ceramic coating??

[@MikeB-rz3mj]

Same spot gotta rock chip on my drivers door no clue how middle of the door tiny chip over my passenger wheel well also my cars coated I just don’t want to fck up my coating if I use this

[@balkee42]

@@MikeB-rz3mj i ended up using it. Didnt seem to affect the coating at all

[@carbonoxx]

if i apply clearcoat after the base paint will the sealact work with the clear coat?

[@ThicGarage]

Don’t believe so but u may want to reach out to them.

[@shidoin5398]

Do a demo on deep cherry red pearl

[@racheef2009]

Is there metallic flake in the touch up paint? From what I read on their website it sounds like they purposely exclude flake bc it makes the repair more noticeable. Can you confirm?

[@ThicGarage]

There was not any flake

[@Weixu919]

If I already see rust, should I get sand off the rust first ?

[@taehoshin586]

How do you find one for 2014 black odyssey.

[@MrTuffCookies]

How does this stuff hold up? I see this was posted 3 years ago... any issues with it discoloring, peeling, etc? I doubt it, I see basically nothing but people raving about this stuff online, which is what led me here, but I just can't hell but be skeptical, especially when something sounds too good to be true lol it's just my nature.

[@nnuoo8594]

What if I already applied something on the surface and want to get it even and apply this one?

[@ThicGarage]

May want to reach out to Dr ColorChip directly on that question

[@SheenDolla]

Damn that's AMAZING. No sanding either, wow!

[@cevinstube]

Thanks for the video!

[@Mr_Mopar6.1]

Will this stuff work if it’s a decently sized area that needs to be painted

[@huddleshuddles7360]

When doing multiple coats do you use the sealact to blend then re apply using Sealact in between each application?

yes

Same technique

[@J_yung_]

Do you use squeegee on the edges?

[@ThicGarage]

I did

[@lachlanhudson7404]

What should you do if you have a rock chip with looks like a tiny bit of rust coloration at the center that looks like it bleeds into some of the lifted paint?

[@ThicGarage]

Depends how big the spot is. If small enough you will want to scrape the center with a thumbtack or little screw driver as we did before applying paint.

[@lachlanhudson7404]

@@ThicGarage it is smaller than a pea! My dealership wouldn't do anything about it claiming it was actually a flower dried to the outside of the paint (its a new car) but you can feel a slight dip in the paint running a finger over it. So it's just been annoying dealing with it.

[@Eric-yc9kt]

Do you use the seal act between coats?

[@ThicGarage]

Yes

[@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!!

[@ThicGarage]

Had great results with both Dr. Color Chip & paint from the dealer.

[@kingbotzcustoms]

@@ThicGarage Ahh, good to know! They actually emailed me back & said their paint was a proprietary-blend that only works with their blending-solution, and that dealer-paints wouldn't work with their blender. If that was the case, then you'd have to order a bottle of it from them every time you'd want to do a repair on something different, instead of just buying it local same-day at the dealer or store.

[@alfrancishernandez4553]

I purchased this product, but whenever I used the SealAct, it removes the paint inside the chip too. even If I wait for 5 mins, 10 mins, 1 hr. I also rub it gently. any tips?

[@BurtiB]

Solution?

[@APlusAutoStyling]

Looks great! You guys should consider PPF so you don’t get any rock chips moving forward

[@PatsGarageOnline]

I agree! I never did PPF on a car and while Colorchip works great, it feels more and more painful every time I have to fix a chip. Gonna have to consider PPF, myself.

[@nicolathonathan770]

Did that. PPF is a scam, it won’t stop rock chips.

[@APlusAutoStyling]

@@nicolathonathan770 Lol okay 👍

Ppf is $1,000 vs $40 for the paint dr repair kit lol. Also ppf only last 4 years before it’s starts to fade or yellow.

After 1 year and 26,000 miles my car has only 6 rock chips. All very minor. The only ones that concern me are on the metal hood. The ones in the front plastic facia I'm not worried about rusting.

Thinking of doing this to my car now. Do you have any sort of referral/discount code?

[@ThicGarage]

Sorry no discount code

[@miracleeraser]

How long did you let it dry before the sealact application, and how long between each coat?

[@ThicGarage]

For the deeper chips I let dry 15 min between coats. The road rash or light chips about 2 min

[@alfrancishernandez4553]

@@ThicGarage i let it sit for more that 15 mins, but when I apply the SealAct the pain inside the chips also removes. Am I doing it wrong or should I wait more for the paint to dry?

I purchased a Dr. ColorChip kit on 9-2-20 to repair chips on my Tundra (Barcelona Red). Worked as advertised. Today (9-5-21) I attempted to repair two chips on the passenger door. Shook the paint well as before, used the squeegee, let it dry 5 or 6 minutes until dry to the touch. Rubbed lightly with the SealAct and noticed the paint around the chips was dull and there were a couple of other areas that were dull as well. I buffed the area with the microfiber towel but the dull areas remain. This is a Tundra I have babied since I bought it, kept it detailed. I see no mention of shelf life on the box it came in or in any other literature. I am sick.
