In this article, I will provide a step-by-step process to repair paint chips using the Dr. Color Chip system. This system is a paint repair system that offers an exact color match for your vehicle. It eliminates the need for paint pens, rattle cans, or going to a shop for repairs. The kit includes everything you need to fix multiple chips on your car, making it a cost-effective solution.

Before we begin, it’s important to note that we will be focusing on repairing the chips on a specific fender, rather than the entire car. This allows us to provide a detailed explanation without overwhelming you with unnecessary information. However, the process can be applied to any area of your car with paint chips.

Key Points:

  1. Introducing the Dr. Color Chip system: Dr. Color Chip is a paint repair system that offers an exact color match for your car. The kit includes paint, sealant, solvent, brushes, microfiber towel, and a glove.
  2. Preparing the panel: Start by cleaning the panel thoroughly. You can use a wrenchless wash, a fallout remover to remove surface rust, and a clay bar to remove contaminants from the chips. Ensure the panel is clean and smooth before proceeding.
  3. Rust removal (if applicable): If you have rusted chips, sand the surface rust using a sanding stick or a ballpoint pen with sandpaper. This step is crucial to ensure proper bonding of the paint.
  4. Prepping the chips: Clean the chips with isopropyl alcohol using the towel provided. This step removes any residue and prepares the chips for the paint application.
  5. Applying the paint: Shake the paint bottle for about 30 seconds to mix it thoroughly. Use the brush included or your own brush to apply the paint to the chips. Start with the deeper or larger chips, filling them and blotting the excess paint. Build up the paint layers on each chip, allowing them to dry between applications.
  6. Leveling the paint: Once the paint has dried, use the sealant and solvent provided to level the paint and remove any excess. Apply a small amount of the sealant to the chips and use the provided cheesecloth or a clean towel to gently remove the excess paint. This step ensures a smooth and seamless finish.
  7. Final touches: After leveling the paint, clean the panel again with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue and admire the repaired chips. The repaired area should blend in with the surrounding paint, leaving no noticeable imperfections.

By following this step-by-step process, you can achieve professional results in repairing paint chips on your car. The Dr. Color Chip system offers a cost-effective and convenient solution, eliminating the need for expensive paint pens or trips to the shop.

Remember, practice makes perfect. If you don’t achieve the desired results on your first attempt, don’t be discouraged. Keep trying and refining your technique to master the art of paint chip repair. With time and experience, you’ll be able to achieve flawless results on your car.
