Make it easy on us; put the link in the body of your message next time. Here ya go:
Dr.ColorChip Custom Automotive Touch-Up Paint Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems
I watched the demo video and the results looked good but I question its longevity. I'd like to see more angles of the finish too. They didn't pan at all to show its reflection. It might be good just for resale

ernman, I have not tried the system, but a quick search yielded at least one user's post describing his experience. You might make note also that one of DC's sponsors AutoGeek sells that product now Dr. ColorChip Paint Chip Repair, repair paint chips, touch-up paint, Doctor Color-Chip Paint Chip Repair I'll bet you could contact DC's mayor (also an AG employee) Dwayne and ask if he could provide you with additional information.

I have never tried it myself but I have heard decent things about it. I think there is a big market for it in dealership prep, but I don't think it would hold up all that long....but then again I haven't tried it, just what I've heard.

do they have a clear version? might be the solution to a current predicament I'm dealing with. The front end of a used vehicle we just got has etching from bug guts. Now I'd like to see that!

Auto Detail & Restoration
I have seen a car done with the clear part of the process(Mercedes S500). Having seen the car prior there was a noticeable improvement but still indications something was there. Durability I don't know.
Much of the process/results would be dependent on not pulling out too much paint when you wipe the "blobs".
We used a similar process with reducer to wipe but had hardeners in our clear. The results were good but still not perfect. Hardness of the factory clear also matters.
Remember this is NOT meant for single stage paints. The reducers will eat the surrounding edge and paint in my experience.
I'm planning on trying it out though it seems more cost effective. My process requires going to the paint shop and having it mixed. One thing to remember is certain colors have a minimum mix ratio (ie. quart or pint) to have the correct flake,hue, etc. Something mixed in less quantity may not match exactly. The cost of a pint or quart can far exceed the cost of this system.
